Cask at the Navy Inn in Penzance. Pours clear copper with a creamy off-white head. I think the aroma is floral with a light touch of honey. Flavor is floral and light caramel with some honey notes. A tasty beer.

Bottle from Waitrose. Amber coloured with a decent, off-white head. Aroma of citrus fruit, honey and biscuit malts. Flavour was sweet, with caramel, more honey and a pleasantly bitter finish. Good.

Bottle. Pours a clear, light amber with a bubbly head.Pine and citrus hop nose, with some caramel malts. Nice and sweet, malty with caramel and perhaps hints of honey. The bitterness is quite citrusy. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Fairly well balanced finish with more caramel and honey sweetness, then some citrus hops with light stickiness. Really good. (13 November 2010, score: 3.8)

Medium sweet flavour with more quite simple bready pale malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. Sugary finish, some light hay. Very simple. (August 2016, score: 3.1)

Bottle from Waitrose, Northwood. A deep amber coloured pour with a slight white head. Malty, hoppy aroma. Tastes crisp and refreshing, slightly sweet, hint of honey, malty, slight bitterness. Quite pleasant and very easy drinking. A good beer to introduce my teenage nephew to beer.

Cask at the Alexandra, Derby. Amber with a dense off-white head; a fairly basic bitter, but pleasant enough and not too sweet.
