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).

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.
