On cask at GBBF 13, one third pint. Clear golden body, dissipating white head. Grain fruity nose. Flavours of dusty hops, resin and grain. Dry ending with hints of fruit bitterness. Easy drinking. Just alright (London Olympia 13.08.2013).

Gravity dispense at the 23rd Battersea Beer Festival - 06/02/13. Clear light golden. Nose carries floral hop tones, perfume, light fruit notes. Taste is medicinal, light fruit, soap, pale malts. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Sub par !

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet Bf 2012. Clear gold virtually no head. Aroma of some hop and some light toffee. Its a little light in flavour but then it is supposed to be a californian common. Some hop dryness on end. Ok if a touch bland.

Cask @Kitty´s. 3.6.2011. Poured dark golden color with a thin white head. Aroma is malt, sweat and some bready notes. Flavor is bread, malt and citrus. Drinkable, but not very interesting.
