[i] [b] Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival 09-05-08 [/i] [/b] Warm golden in colour, excellent clarity, nice little bubbly white head in short it looks a stunner but after this I felt that things slipped somewhat. I was informed that this is heavily based on the Inspired recipe but that the most notable change being the hops, that was the problem I felt the hops just didn’t work for me I felt that they were too much, taste became a bit soapy, things weren’t combining so well it just wasn’t great and yet it looked lovely, in saying that the aroma and appearance salvaged a decent mark for this beer.
