Very light and sharp with it, this beer has the thirst quenching properties of a lager but it's characteristics fall somewhere between the two. Brewed using finest German lager hops and cold conditioned. Sharp and very clean with lots of hop character. Delicate light aroma.

Half, cask ale at Smithfield in Derby. Crystal clear golden body. Dissipating white head. Lacing to the upper part of the glass. Dry fruity aroma. Fresh fruity taste, lemon, peach and grass. Mild bitter tail. Lots of taste in a low alcohol beer. Pretty nice. (22.02.2015).

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Kentish Town, London, 20 Nov 2013) Pale yellow colour with brief, white head. Malty, fruity nose with biscuits, bread, grass and slightly dusty hops. Fruity, malty taste with note of citrus, peaches, biscuits and a certain citric bitterness in the finish. Light body, with a touch of sweetness. Fairly thin, but refreshing and quite nice.

Cask at CPK, Pimlico, London on 29 January 2011. Crystal clear, pale gold with a white foam part-lacing head. Inviting grassy, herby aroma; bitter and fruity simultaneously in-mouth, featuring grassy hoppiness and berry fruits. Bitterness lingers and satisfies in the finish, on a light mouthfeel. Refreshing, easy-drinking and satisfying.

Cask handpull at Cask Pun and Kitchen, Pimlico. Very pale gold with lasting white head. Sweaty sox hoppy aroma. Decent session beer with just a bit too sweaty sox. Good drying finish though.
