The beer has a prominent hop character; a blend of Fuggles, Goldings and Cascade has been used in the recipe to bring the delicate hop flavour and aroma to the fore. The use of Cascade gives a pleasing citrus aroma.
Finest pale Maris Otter malt has been blended with wheat malt and rye crystal to provide a full flavoured beer. The lavish use of late hop dominates the malt flavour and results in a satisfying pint.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A bright amber pour with a tight cream head; citrusy aroma; smooth in the mouth with a grainy body and citrus taste; then a sharp pithy grapefruit bitterness; and a lingering bitter finish. Refreshing and satisfying.

Cask at the Pump House, Solihull. Poured a clear straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light fruity citrus, woody hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a fresh dry malt, light yeasty, light fruit, light dry pepper spice, woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.

(Cask at Captain Corvus, 20160903) The beer poured golden and almost clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had sweetness, earth and butter. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, earth, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was hoppy and bitter. A poor pale ale. Bad cask?

Cask @ Burnaby Arms, Bedford. Mid to dark gold. Aroma is malty with hints of citrus fruit hop, like a proper lager. Taste is... wow. Bittersweet, flavourful and rich from start to finish.

Cask at the Seven Stars, Rugby, 06/03/13. Clear pale golden with a decent sized white cap. Nose is pale malts, grass, light citrus - pretty thin. Taste comprises pale malt, lemon, citrus, light summer fruit, vegetal notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, some bitterness in the finish. Look and feel drags this one up a few notches - very average, not one to revisit for me!

Cask at the Pembury Tavern, London on 17th June 2011. Amber with very little head and no lacing. Fruity aroma and liquid; berries and citric hop on tongue. Citric grapefruit finish on a surprisingly zingy mouthfeel.

Blond colour. Flavour is quite sharp and a little hoppy. Texture rather thin and watery.
