(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 7 Aug 2009) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Fruity nose with citrus, orange, grainy malt, apricots and orange peel. Fruity, malty taste with notes of citrus, orange peel, dried apricots and citrussy hops in the finish. All backed up by a solid malt character. More than medium body, fairly sweet. Very tasty and well balanced beer. Nice!

Cask@The White Horse, Parsons Green, London. Amber colour, not much head. Aroma is fruity and floral hops along with some wood. Flavour is quite much the same. Rather wooden and dry finish.
