Cask at Marble Arch Inn, Manchester. A hazy light golden beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is very perfumy - from the hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, flowers, and hops, leading to a dry, bitter, fruity, and hoppy finish.

Cask, handpump at The Flowerpot ,Derby 30-01-10 in company of Loz, Simon (Haddonsman) my dad and Pauline Pours clear as a bell golden with a slim white head. Touch of fruitiness on the nose, lightly bitter on the nose but then there is a nice tingle from the hops and a light burn on the tongue, nice furry bitterness. Really lovely stuff, good citrus flavour’s coming through, lemon peel, clingy, stringy bitterness continuing, great beer but alongside Marble Dobber its in some very special company.

Cask at the SIBA bar at the GBBF 2008, hand pump. Golden colour, low head. Lovely aroma of tropical fruits and flowers. The flavour has tropical fruits and grapefruit throughout, convincingly hopped but not too bitter. The aftertaste is quite bitter though.
