Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 18th September 2016. Clear gold with shallow off-white lacing foam. Luxuriant hop aroma with cheesy yeasts. Burst of tangy citrus hoppiness in-mouth with some nuttiness and savoury notes. A fruity touch. Nutty and fruity finish. Light body and mouthfeel. Exquisite.

Gravity cask at the Walsall Camra, beer festival 2015. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is light zesty citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter with a lemon citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Light bodied with soft carbonation.

2nd April 2015: half-pint in The Station, Oakengates. Typical Salopian brew, clean, clear and golden body wise: this blonde had the usual snow white head also. Mild citrus notes in the aroma and taste (again often a Salopian trait). Slight malty hint within the flavour but this is a refreshing, hoppy, summer beer in my eyes

10th July 2012
Chelmsford Beer Festival. Hazy gold beer, little bubbly white head. Light palate, a little crisp. Pleasant citrus - a little lemon orange. Tiny bit of fresh grapefruit bitterness coming through in the dry finish and in the aftertaste. Very drinkable easy going beer.
