Superb use of East Kent Goldings hops, lager and wheat malts. Classy bit of stuff.

Cask at The Wenlock Arms. Citrus hop aroma. Misty gold color with white head. Great citrus start, turns a bit towards stone fruit, malt barely detectable. Nice, semi-dry, bitter finish.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Golden beer with bubbly white head. Flowery, grassy hop which belies the intensity in the mouth. Flowery/floral hop, underpinned by biscuit malt with intense hop finish. Really tingles the tongue. Good supping beer. So good I had to get another half.

Hazy blond color. Very nice hoppy aroma, herbal and hearthy. Smooth, quite good, malty, very good hopping. Perfumy. Excellent, as usual.

A slightly hazy yellow/orange beer with a small head. The aroma is hoppy with citrus notes. The flavor is very fresh fruity and flowery with notes of straws, lemonpeel, grapefruit, and aroma hops. A nice refreshing beer.
