Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2019 - London. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Lightly sweet with notes of pale bread, lightly tangy citrus fruits, lemon in particular. Light bodied with fine carbonation, decent condition. Alright balance in the finish, further pale malts, soft lemony hops. Fine overall.

500ml bottle; BBE Dec 2020. Drank off the coast of Scotland on 5th Sep 2019. This was my 10,000th rate on this site (I didn't realize at the time). Clear amber pour, wispy topping. A malty base with some serious hop action giving a tropical fruit aroma and citrusy flavour; decent.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Light haze on this gold beer. Small pale cream colour head. Light palate. Semi dry. Modest fine carbonation. Light malts. Grainy sweetness. Tangy citrus. Light finish. Boring standard twangy stuff. So tired of this ubiquitous and indistinguishable bollocks!

Bottle (500 ml) at Inveraray. Good amber color with a bit of a green patina in it. They call it an IPA, but for that I miss the real bitterness in the aroma and taste. But, since the abv of 3,8%, is a very good beer!

Cask @ White Hart, Waterloo, London. Golden-amber with a thin head. Has a sugary hoppy fruitiness with the emphasis on the former.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Gryphon, Bristol 10/3/2017. Golden in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Apricot and a touch of tangerine, some hay, weetabix malts, before a moderately bitter finish. Good.
