Bright clear gold beer with a small off white head. Palate is light and crisp and semi dry. Minerals. Thin creamy malt base. Light clean hops, semi sweet citrus. Lime - lemon with a touch of grapefruit. Slight lager tone in the mid. Minerally crisp finish with a whisper of banana. Nice clean refreshing beer. Lime peel aftertaste.

Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff sep-13: en ipa med citra og chinook, og det kjenne både på aroma og smak. Frisk og god, lett å drikke - hva mer trenger man egentlig for å ha det bra?

Cask at The Tyburn (Wetherspoons), Marble Arch, London. A golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, fruity, malty aroma. Similar taste, hoppy, malty, tropical/citrus fruit. Really enjoyed this golden ale and it was in a Spoons. I ended up drinking 6 pints of it.

Bottle from Corks of Cotham. Deep gold in colour with a short-lived white head and moderate carbonation. tropical fruit aroma of grapefruit and pineapple with a suggestion of pine. Flavour had more fruit, solid, biscuity malts, leading to a dryish, slightly peppery finish. Enjoyable.
