Pint pulled from cask, 4.1%. Light blond color, just slightly hazed, 1 finger thick white head. Aroma is light malty and loads of citrus and grapefruit. Seems to be flavoured, but the flavouring really matches the citrusy hops. Very clean taste, heavily hopped and rather bitter, medium bodied for its ABV and low carbonation, aromatic finish. Loved this one.

Cask @ Paramount, Manchester. Golden-blond with a small creamy head. Has a malty nose but plenty of hops and a dry tasting taste that’s slightly fruity.

On cask at Holy Inadequate, Etruria - a clear golden pint, white head. Very grassy in the nose and first taste, decent enough.

On gravity at the Portcullis, Clifton, Bristol 11/12/10. Golden in colour with a slight white head. Sweetish, caramel aroma with some summer fruits and leafy hops. Flavour had plenty of citrus and peach character before a dry finish, Good.
