Golden hoppy bitter, nice floral English hops, dry finish with a quenching acidity.

Bottle at home. Hazy golden colour with a loose frothy white head. Aroma is elderflower honey and lemon. Biscuit malt, grainy, citrus flavours. Quite gassy. Some mineral.

(on tap) Slightly hazy straw colour with small head. Nice gentle lemon aroma. Light body, medium carbonation. Citrus foretaste, pleasant light biscuity malt. Nice gentle bitter finish. Very nice beer.

Cask at the Wandsworth Common Spring BF, Le Gothique, London. Pours clear, shiny gold with a fine, foamy white head. Nice aroma of orange citrus. Light to medium sweet flavor with more citrus, some doughy malts and straw. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Faintly sticky to finish with straw bitters, zesty citrus rind. Very good, very well balanced.

Draft. Very slightly hazy pale gold beer, no head. Low carbonation. Semi dry palate. Mild hoppy fruits, very moderate bitterness. Clear honey. Finishes with more mild hop fruits. Goes down easy.

Hand pulled pint in a straight sleeve glass, poured at my local Spoon’s on a Wednesday ‘Real Ale Day’ during Sep 2011 (all cask beers at £1.89 a pint). Amber, dirty golden coloured body, almost clear, but no quite. On top an off-white head of tight bubbles. The smell was of grains and grass, with a hoppy citrusy bitter-sweet undertone. Fairly sweet initially on the tongue, but the hops kick in fairly swiftly after that and it certainly has a bitter finish. It has a pronounced grainy feel in its taste and texture, almost gritty in fact, very different to most UK Premium Bitters. I prefer malts and sweeter beers normally, this didn’t fall anywhere near that category, but I still enjoyed drinking it; in fact I had another pint just to make sure I got the flavours right for this review. Interesting brew, the first I’ve had from this brewery, I’ll look out for more.

Cask at the Grape and Grain, Crystal Palace. Gold pour with a white head. Malts and fruit in the nose. Sharp citrus zing. Pear and herb flavour. Long bitter-fruit finish. Nice.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 23/1/2011. Gold ion colour with a slight, white head. Grapefruit hop aroma. Pleasant, marmalade flavours, that grew more pronounced, with some sweetish malts and pleasantly dry finish. Enjoyable.

[Cask at the Old Road Tavern, Chippenham] Slightly cloudy golden colour with a moderate white head. The strong and lasting initial bitterness was too much for me. Behind it I could just about discern lemon and maybe a bit of earth, but this beer was really not for me.
