Cask at the St. Albans Beer Festival 2013. Poured a clear amber colour with a thick, rocky head. Aroma of sweet malts, pineapple and light spruce. Initial flavours are also very sweet with golden syrup, dates and sweetened grapefruit. Palate is a little more of what you’d expect; grassy hop resins and dry grain. I haven’t had this in a few years, but I recall that it was far more hoppy in the past. Possibly my preference for hops has increased a lot since then, or this barrel was not at its best.

(Cask at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 5 Aug 2010) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of orange peel and dried apricots. Fruity taste with orange, dried apricots and lots of fresh citric hops. Solid malt foundation with a touch of sweetness. More than medium body. Nice and tasty with a fresh hop character.

Cask at the Old Cross Tavern, Hertford on 3 Sept 2010. Amber with a bubbly quick-collapse grey head and a small amount of lacing. Very fruity aroma of berries and grapefruit. Grass, grapefruit and subtle honey in-mouth, and a strong but rounded grapefruit finish. Zingy mouthfeel. Superb!

Cask (GBBF 2010) - Gold/amber in colour. Grapefruit, pineapple and peach in the aroma. Bitter and hoppy taste with tangy grapefruit, pineapple and passion fruit detected. Tasty and enjoyable, even though it could do with a bit more balance.

15th July 2010. Chelmsford Beer Festival. Slightly hazy gold beer. Residual suddy head. Semi dry and semi criso palate. Crisp orangey hops with a little marmalade and a little spice. A whisper of sulphur doesn’t detract too much. Good effort!
