Pale and aromatic very hoppy bitter. Apollo hops dominate. Full, grapefruity and refreshing with a sharp bitter finish.

Cask (hand pump) at the Darlington Spring Thing Beer Festival. ABV is 4.0%. Pale golden colour, low head. Nice citrussy aroma. Distinctly bitter hoppy flavour, but has too weak body to support the bitterness. Still props to Durham for daring to brew hoppy ales, while so many other English breweries are "playing safe" with boring beers.

Sampled @ GBBF day 2. Clear pale yellow to pale golden color, virtually no head. Smell and taste lightly malts, some hops, lightly sweaty, lightly bitter, lightly fruity. Decent body and carbonation. Pity there’s some sweaty notes in there.
