Enjoyable beer.

Cask in London. Intense hoppy floral beginning. Rich, round, refreshing with lots of floral hops. Citrus, pine, moderate bitter aftertaste. Fascinating deep and floral.

Handpull cask at the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Golden brown, clear with a thin almost-white head on top. Pithy grapefruit aroma with some floral notes and biscuit malt. Ambrosial taste. Sweet without being sickly, and just held back by the bittering hop. Soft waves of citrus wash over the tongue to the balances, grapefruit-laden finish. Medium body, smooth texture. An absolute gem of a beer.

Cask handpump at The Oakham Brewery Tap, Peterborough, Friday 9th January 2015 on Whittlesey Straw Bear weekend (we stopped at Peterborough Central Travelodge) Pours warm gold, superb clarity, wow this looks and tastes bloody excellent, to complete the picture there is a slim white head atop. Initially I get soapy hops bit indistinct but after a while a real fruitiness and a lingering bitter bite. This is just marvellous, its superbly fresh as you would expect at The Brewery Tap. I am getting big hoppy burps, which make me smile, this is absolutely excellent. A8 A5 T8 P4 Ov16 4.1

On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - lemon and grapefruit with a gentle malty backdrop. Taste - tangy lemon and a hint of toffee and biscuits but just a hint. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - yep good though not sure it fits into ESB perfectly.
