Wonderful, refreshing zesty aromas top off a pale, light biscuity body. Sweetness and bitterness combine in a hugely satisfying session beer.

Cask @ Pelt Trader, London. Golden with a thin head. Has a very palatable pale ale texture, but other more fruity citra ales are available.

(Cask at Harp, Charing Cross, London, 22 April 2017) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, lemon peel, grass and floral hops. Malty, fruity taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, peaches, soft malt, grass and a balanced citric bitterness. Light body, with a touch of sweetness. Fresh and tasty. Nice one.

Cask half pint at The City Arms, Cardiff. Pale golden colour, minimal white head. Moderate aroma of citrussy hops. Distinctly citrussy flavour with a good bitterness. Light bodied, and a bit one-dimensional, but nice enough to drink.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol, February 2014. Deep gold with a tight white head. Big, tangerine and lemon aroma, with a grassy edge. Flavour had crisp, biscuity malts, more citrus fruit and led to a dryish finish. Very good.
