Fruity, premium strength golden ale showcasing hops from around the world. Willamette and Cascade in the American corner with fruity, floral flavours, plus Galaxy from the Southern Hemisphere for a tropical boost, all beautifully balanced by Bobek and Spalt hops grown by our neighbours over on the continent.

On Cask in Litton, Derbyshire - a decent looking pull, took time to clear, but golden with a lasting head. Slight citric note to this, a mellow taste of limes (?) and tropical citrus fruits, with an aroma to match. Good feel to it, and nice aftertaste.

Cask. Yellowish golden colour with a small head. Aroma is very citrusy with some bready and earthy notes as well. Flavour is citrusy, mildly dishwatery notes as well as some bready and mild herbal notes. Easy to drink, but nothing very special.

[cask at North Wiltshire Beer Festival] Citrus flavours are rather blotted out by the sweet, syrup-y aftertaste. Not a well balanced beer, and I was disappointed after other reviews on here. Still OK though.

Cask (handpump) @ Swan with Two Necks, WS15, Longdon. Clear light to medium yellow color with a small virtually none off-white head. Aroma is moderate hoppy, flowers, fruity. Flavor is moderate sweet and light lihgt bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is flat. Very refreshing.
