Has slight malts in the aroma, but then an unexpected nice fruitiness for flavour.

GBBF. Cask. Clear brown beer. Neutral palate. Well balanced malt and hops. Light dry malt and some mildly fruity. But it’s all a bit dull.

Cask, one-half pint bought at Bar Nouveau, GBBF 09. Dark amber body with a few floaters on the surface. Grain-fruity aroma. Lighter taste of hoppy fruits with a dry hopped ending. Medium to thin bodied. Nice and easy drinking without being great in any way (London, Earls Court 05.08.2009).

Malty, fruity taste with notes of toast, apricots, dusty hops and a touch of yeast. Light body, balanced sweetness, generous bitterness. Hardly exciting, but decent and tasty session beer.
