Bottle from Oddbins London Bridge. Clear gold lasting white head. Some hop on aroma and some toffee aroma. Really quite toffeeish in the aroma. Some good hops on the finish. Like crystal hard clear toffee. OK hops on finish. Got better as I drank it I think. Hops on finish grew on me.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 26/06/2013. Slightly hazy gold, with a decent, off-white head. Grassy hops, with a herbal edge and plenty of tropical fruit, leading to a pleasantly bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at Cloisters, Edinburgh. It pours golden yellow with a thick off-white head. The nose is fresh, grass, citrus fruit (lemon & grapefruit) and light floral. The taste is fresh citrus, white grape, grassy, good bitterness and light floral notes with a dry, faintly citric finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Easy drinking hoppy golden.

Clear gold with thin head. Aroma is slightly sour hop, taste is similar with a sharpness on the tongue. A bit one-note.

Re-rating from cask @ Stockbridge Tap. Much better on cask, great aroma and taste, very fresh citrus, looks good and tastes great with a very balanced palate. Previous rating on 15/10/12 = 6+4+6+3+12=3.1 50cl bottle thanks to BeerCast_Rich. Pours golden and clear with a nice frothy head. The nose has honey and hay. The taste has grapefruit, hay and pale malt. The palate is medium bodied and textured with a nice clean finish. Overall, solid but not memorable.
