Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol, June 2014. Golden in colour with a slight, white, head. Easy drinking pale ale, with some subtle elderflower notes, hint of grassy hop and moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 12th September 2010. Gold and slightly hazy with a white head of foam. Refreshing and pleasant blend of elderflower, grass and citric hop notes, with a little malt rounding. Hoppy, fruity finish. Textured mouthfeel. Enjoyed this pint.

Cask@GBBF2008. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is sour apricot, some fruits and mild notes of wood. Flavour is much the same, with pine and apricot being sweetish sour and the fruits and wood giving a bitterness to it.

Half pint on gravity at The Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. Clear dark golden colour with bright clarity and low level of foam. Marked fruity aroma. The flavour is also floral, fresh and fruity with a dry hoppy ending. And the taste I canโ€™t determine might be the elderflower. Quite well balanced English fruit beer (21.09.2006).

Cask at GBBF Golden, slight haze, bit of hay/flora (roses?) on aroma, some citrus, sharp hop on end but did not have the balance and structure to make this a better beer
