Keg at the Cock, 27/06/14. Clear pale golden with a well formed white cap that retains, carbonation evident. Nose is pale malts, grain, cereals, light citrus notes. Taste comprises light citric presence, pale malt, touch of citric peel, straw. Medium bodied, prickly carbonation, metallic wash in the close allied to light grassy bitterness. Pretty mediocre stuff, would probably benefit from cask conditioning to develop the flavour profile somewhat!

on cask, dryhopped with Polaris. Smooth beginning, light citrus hops, fresh with smooth hoppy hints. The hops are intense fruity, the grainy body fits in to the floral hops as well.
Nice and decent! 11/12/11/12

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - very elusive but faint oranges and pale malt. Taste - tangy oranges almost dry apricots. Malty background. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - challenging but enjoyable beer.
