From the very first draught, this pale hoppy ale will slake your thirst. A fusion of Maris Otter malts and Pilot and Fuggles hops explode on the palate as biscuit and juicy fruit flavours give way to citrus and berry hops, good hop aroma and hoppy after taste. A superb summer beer.

Cask @ The Waterhouse, Manchester. Blond with a creamy head. Quite hoppy and sour with a mild citrus character running throughout and a fair bitterness, although thin and weak tasting.

Hand-pulled pint in my local Wetherspoons on 4th July 2012. Golden body with a full white head that left some good heavy lacing on my UK pint sleeve glass as the beer level fell. The beer is a dry hoppy brew: the nose being both grainy and semi-citrus hoppy, the taste left the grains behind in the smell and allowed the hops to take over completely, the flavour became bitter and drier as the pint sank. I’m a sweeter, maltier chap so this didn’t do it for me.
