Hazy deep golden color with a fine white head. Looks good. Ok lacing. Fine intensity in the aroma. Medium body and an average carbonation level. Fine balance between sweetness and bitterness. Citric, pine, malty and fruity flavor. Nice fresh, tasty and easy drinkable beer.

Clear golden beer with a thick creamy head. Light grapefruit aroma. Taste is sweet citrus, a bit of tart grapefruit hop, and a slightly sour, bitter aftertaste. Very smooth, very drinkable.

Cask at O’Neills, Reading. Gold with a middling white head. Grapefruit, light pine & grass. More bitterness than flavour, although it’s not excessively bitter. Would like more emphasis on the flavour though. Dry finish. OK.

Can, 5%. Weak spicy hop aroma. Almost clear dark golden colour. Small stable white head. The flavour has some cooked vegetable and a mild hop bite. Perhaps it is paper, but something is not quite to my liking here.
