Cask @ Crown & Kettle, Manchester. Golden with a creamy head. Has a pale ale character but is ginger infused, although this is not overbearing.

Cask at Euston Tap. Clear gold pour, sturdy white head. Great citrus hops in the nose, orange and honey, light bread. Really nice flavor, plenty of juiciness, more orange, mild caramel and bread, nice bitters, light earth. Light to medium in body with good, average carbonation. Bit more bread in the finish, rindy, leafy and earthy bitters in the throat, good citrusy sugars. Nice beer.

On gravity at the Tewkesbury Beer festival, 4/02/2011. Clear gold in colour with a lacy white head. Light tangerine aroma, with a hint of ginger and malt sweetness. Sweetish, cereal malt flavour, with citrus fruit, a pinch of spice and dryish finish. Good.

Cask at NWAF, Manchester 21.01.11 Pours clear gold with white bubbly head, good clarity and good condition to this. There is a little bit of popcorn in the background, touch of soapy hops and the bitterness stays on throughout. A6 A5 T7 P4 Ov13 3.5

Cask. Slightly hazy golden with a small off-white head. Fresh citrusy nose - perhaps even a whiff of ginger. Light body, flat, citrusy even a hint of lime. Fairly hoppy finish even with a little alcohol showing. 220110

Cask handpull at The Market Porter. Gold, slight haze, lassting off white head. Even slightly pilsner like on the hop, good biting freshness. I like it a lot, refreshing spring beer. Little bit of dust, but really good, I liked it. Could have drunk loads. Good fruitiness.
