Cask at the moon under water Watford jdw. Aroma is nice fresh lemon hop citra and nelson sauvin maybe. Clear golden straw colour with a reluctant halo of a white head. Flavour is flatter and a bit more loose. Yeah there is some nelson character in there but the malt lacking and the palate is a bit thin. Good effort.

Cask @ Hedley Verity. Light golden with a thick creamy head. A slightly thin ale but good for a session, and full of tropical fruitiness in both aroma and taste.

GBBF. Light haze on this gold beer, little white head. Light dry palate. Mild honeyish malt with rich citrus fruits and a nice grapey touch. Over dry finish but a nice brew.

Gbbf 2012. Clear gold lasting off white head. Its good. Not as good as the 13 guns but still for a thwaites beer. Nelson tropical fruit really comes through. Lovely in fact. Hop sting finish. Good beer.

Cask at GBBF 2012. It pours golden yellow, with a medium white head. The nose is dough, farmyard, hopsack, straw and weak tropical fruits. The taste is light sweet malt, hay, straw and sweet tropical fruit, with a decent bitter finish. Decent flavour and well balanced. Not bad at all.
