Cask (GBBF 2008) - Golden/amber in colour. Hoppy aroma with grapefruit. Nice and hoppy taste. Pleasant bitterness with some grapefruit hints and a bit of lemon. Another impressive low strength beer.

Cask handpull at Market Porter, Borough. Gold, thin beige head. Some grassy hop, bit of citrus, some toffee/butter too. Bit of diacetyl maybe. Hops on end are good, but the rest is only so-so.

[on cask at Nag’s Head, Reading] Deep gold with a slight, dissipating white head. Big wafts of fresh bread in the aroma and first taste promised much, but it strangely turned into a very average golden ale with weak, watery, lemon and grass flavours. Inoffensive but instantly forgettable.

[cask at Reading Beer Festival] Smokey & sweet without being syrupy. Not bad, but could do with a little more flavour - mouthfeel is a little watery..
