Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - golden with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - boiled green vegetables. Light toffee at the back. Taste - toffee and unpleasant green vegetables again. Palate - light to medium bodied with a tangy, slightly sour texture and a dry tangy finish. Overall - a bit odd and not sure that this is what the brewer intended.

Bottle thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aromas of light sour, boiled veg. Taste is malty, light sour apple. Light sweet finish. Hard to get past the nose.

Cask, gravity pour on 6th Sep 2014 at the Bridgnorth Beer Festival. Bland and boring I am sorry to say. Golden with a minimal white head. The nose was of mildly citrus hops and light malty sweetness, the taste the same. Thin and uninspiring body.

Cask-conditioned at the Plough, Worcester 30/05/09. Deep gold with a slight white head. Aroma of citrus hops with a touch of sweetness. Mouth feel was surprisingly light for the ABV, almost watery, which led to a jarring contrast with the grapefruit dry finish. Ok.
