Cask (Guide Dog, Southampton) - Golden in colour. Hoppy and spicy aroma with ginger detected. The taste is spicy with ginger featuring prominently along with some notes of apricot. Even though the ginger is very noticeable, it’s not overwhelming and the beer has very good balance.

Cask at the Evening Star, Brighton, UK on 30 August 2010. Gold with thin white head. Light, hoppy, touch of fruit and easy drinking. Light to watery mouthfeel. Fairly subtle flavours but a refreshing quench on a warm August evening.

Cask at the Southampton Arms on 1st July 2010. Hazy amber with cream-white head. Bitter hoppiness and citrus notes harmonise together but are up against an underlying "ashiness" that seems to detract rather than add o the experience of the beer. As with all my lower ratings I am quite happy to be proved wrong!

[Cask at the Bootleggers, High Wycombe] Rather anaemic golden colour, negligible head. Grassy hops, some light floral notes and a bit of wee-wee (well, like I imagine wee-wee would taste, I have no plans of actually trying it to find out...). A disappointment after their excellent Maximus.

[Cask at the Bootlegger, High Wycombe] Russet with a moderate off-white head. Big, rich fruit and toffee flavour, little bitterness, slips down as smooth as you like. Loved it. Is this the perfect after-work pint?
