Almost golden with a strong hop aroma. A fine fresh lively session beer hopped to give a clean crisp finish of hoppy dryness and a touch of astringency.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford (not listed in RateBeer) Well, this starts off promisingly. A vague aroma of hops. Pours hazy lemon yellow with a small white head. In the mouth the first impression is of the watery texture, with floral hops and some straw. But the more I drank, the worse it got ! Citrus came up and overwhelmed everything, leaving a horrible taste in the back of my throat, that lasted for ages. Not as bad as Oakham Citra, but not far off.

Cask-conditioned at the Inn on the Green, Bristol 7/05/10. Amber with a decent, lacy white head. Sweetish malt and citrus hop aroma. Easy drinking, with flavours of caramel, biscuit malts, oranges and a hoppy, dry finish. Enjoyable.

Cask at Peterborough Beer Fest. Clear amber. Resiny hops and cookie malt cuts this beer in halves between them. It’s light-medium bodied and medium dry with caramelly clean mouthfeel and lingering resiny bitterness.

Cask condition, gravity at Wenlock Arms. Gold/copper colour with no head. Earthish bitter, some odd tangerine and mud. Hey, it’s a bitter which is pretty decent from a new brewery to most of us I think.
