Draft at the Great British Beer Festival 2014, Day 1 - London. Pours clear, dark gold with a light, white cream head. Nicely balanced with notes of melon, mango, light minerals, faint leaves, orange rind. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Well balanced to finish as well. Tasty. Pleasant citrusy hops throughout with light grainy pale malts. Good one.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Light haze on this deep gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and dry and crispy. Nice condition! Lovely tangerine hops, lesser lemon and orange marmalade. Light finish. Very good indeed.

Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2014, Olympia, London. A golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, pine aroma. Tastes similar, hoppy, citrus, pine, rather thin but alright.

Bottle from Harvest Market Pours a slightly hazy medium golden color with a huge frothy beige head that slowly dissipates. Aromas of earthy spice pine and just a hint of mint from the hops with a bit of caramel land brown bread from the malts. The flavor is sweet with malty bread and caramel and just a touch of earthy herbal hop flavor and a touch of bitterness. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Decent enough summer brew, the aroma is quite nice, but the flavor was a bit maltier than the aroma suggested and a little on the heavy side for either a session ale or a summer ale.
