[Cask at Monks Retreat, Reading] Amber (as you’d expect!) with a large, lasting, creamy head. Dusty wheat chaff aroma. Citrus flavour with grassy notes and a malty bitterness in the dry finish. Strangely British-tasting despite the US hops. Bitterness grows as you drink more. Rather enjoyed this one.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Hazy amber with a thin cream head; hoppy aroma; light, grassy hops flavour, prickly and slightly medicinal; some residual sweetness then a light hop finish. Disappointing.

Cask-conditioned at the Counting House (JDW), Glasgow 3/07/09. Deep gold in colour with a moderate white head. Summer fruit and citrus hop aroma. Flavour of sweet malts, with a touch of orange hop and dry finish. Good.
