Small offwhite head. Slightly hazy yellow body. Faint floral fruity aroma with marmalade notes. Dry-sweet resiny floral orangey taste with dusty gooseberry notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dry resiny orange marmalade aftertaste with gooseberry and flower notes. Really nice. Full of flavour, yet highly drinkable. (0.284l cask at House of Trembling Madness, York. Billed as "Billabong Aussie Pale Ale", 4.6%. I assume it’s the same.)

Hand-pulled half-pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 1st Aug 2013. Light golden body with a thin white head. Floral hop nose and taste with a citrus feel to the finish. Body didn’t seem right for a 4.6% ABV brew, a little thin and watery: not the Rebel’s best beer. Refreshing enough, but not my sort of beer.

Cask at CASK. It pours clear golden yellow with a small white head. The nose is earth, wood, wood polish, hay and floral. The taste is floral, straw, dough, light toast, touch of sweetness, pine and resin with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Good balance and high drinkablity.

Cask at the Birmingham Beer Bash 2013. Poured a crystal clear light amber with a round bubbly white head. The aroma is of apricot with a hint of toffee caramel. The flavour is medium to weak bitter with a big, but short-lived zesty fruit palate which became rather watery rather quickly when a little malt showed though. When all is said and done though, do I like it? Yes I do!
