Tap at Three Tuns. It pours clear golden with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, fragrant, lemony, lime, zesty, biscuit and lager shandy. The taste is dry, bitter, pithy, zesty, floral, lemon, pithy, soapy, grass, biscuit and cracker with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Fair enough.

Can. Golden beer with a strong head. The aroma is lightly dry and hopped, and the flavour is very bitter with toffeeness and some yeastiness. Overall a reasonable well hopped American pale ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

330ml can. Pours very hazy pale golden colour, white head. Aroma is very citrusy, zesty, oranges and lemons, grapefruit. Taste is the same as the aroma, citrus flavours dominate, bitter grapefruit, biscuity malt, dry lingering bitter finish. Light body, oily texture. Can is a month passed its BBD so all things considered not too bad.

Can from Appellation Wines Comely Bank. Appearance - very pale golden. Nice fluffy head. Nose - oranges and a hint of cake. Taste - oranges again and with a bitter pithy oramge finish. Light resin comes in too but not top much. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - decent ale. Would say it was more in the session ipa style.

Handpull cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. Light gold, very little head but lots of natural carbonation. Light citrus aroma. Bittersweet taste with hints of grapefruit and a trifle soapy. Bitter hoppy aftertaste. Thin body. Good without being great, I’d like a lot more character but alas it is not to be.
