A gloriously rich golden colour with a wonderful mown grass aroma. This premium bitter is full of complex flavours including a tiny amount of caramel.

Cask at Land of Liberty Peace and Plenty, Chorleywood, Herts. A golden/amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Malty, fruity, caramel aroma. Tastes similar, fruity, malty, caramel, slightly hoppy. OK stuff.

Cask, 1/3 pint at GBBF 13, day 1. Clear golden body. Shiny naked surface. Aromas of grassy hops joined by malty sweetness. Leafy hops and caramel flavours leading to a dry, bittersweet ending. Decent, well blended Brit bitter (London Olympia 13.08.2013).

Bottle. Clear amber liquid with medium white head. Aroma of flowers, earth, bread, biscuit, toast and cardboard. Tired. Taste is dry and medium bitter with notes of bread, earth and biscuit. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Nice but too old.

Uncommonly bitter and hoppy for an english bitter. Lots of zesty grass and dandelion tones and bitterness a long with a bit of citrus. Dry, fresh and bitter. Cask at Greatham Inn East Hampshire.

On cask at Nerax North. Pours a slightly cloudy deep golden color with a thin veil of soft white bubbles. Smell is sweet malty with hints of candy sugar and a spicy earthy almost citric hop aroma as well. Taste is sweet and bready malt with hints of earthy hops. Medium body with a low level of carbonation and I slick mouthfeel. Decent brew I’m glad I got the chance to try it and on cask no less.

Cask at GBBF 2010. A golden beer with a thin yellowish head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruits and straw, leading to a dry finish. Quite refreshing.

50cl bottle from the Home Brew Shop, Aldershot. Amber with a scummy white head; grassy aroma; fresh floral flavour to start with some caramel maltiness to follow; and a light grassy bitterness to finish. A well-balanced bitter.

Cask at the Southampton Arms on 1st July 2010. Hazy amber with cream-white head. Bitter hoppiness and citrus notes harmonise together but are up against an underlying "ashiness" that seems to detract rather than add o the experience of the beer. As with all my lower ratings I am quite happy to be proved wrong!
