At the Old Red Lion (Holborn). Floral/fruit aroma, but very light. Amber color with white head. Starts nicely bitter in a floral way, backed lightly by malt, but the finish is solidly bitter. Very nicely hopped.

Cask. Lightly hazed golden ale with a foamy thin white head. Light caramel malt with dry green hops. In mouth, a thin malt with very fresh hops flowers, very nice. Light but good. The Real Beer Expo - Rochester, NY, Oct. 21, 2006.
