Strong Pale Ale easy drinking, with medium to strong bitterness.Made with pale malt. Summit bittering hops with Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Pilgrim aroma hops give a strong citrus finish.

Cask @ The Crown, Penzance. This one might not be served at the best condition maybe, anyway this was just tasting like a generic beer, very plain and just some malt and some bitterness without any distinct aroma or flavor. Boring.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Indistinct aroma - slightly vinegary, some malts. A hazy but bright golden amber. Thin bubbly half moon of a white head. Medium bitter. Tart grapefruit and grains. Hints of sweetness. Light bodied. Thin. Flat carbonation. Lomg astringent finish. Better than I was expecting - has a decent kick to it.

Cask @ Bar Fringe, Manchester. Clear golden with a very thin head. A little sticky in its texture with a small sweetness that’s more stated in its nose than taste. There’s a small fruitiness here.
