Cask at Pickled Pig, Stafford. Pours golden yellow with a medium sized foamy almost white head and good lacing. As you might expect from an Oakham beer the aroma is full of citrus, floral hops and tropical fruits. Similarly in the mouth it is sweet with a slight sharpness and somewhat creamy texture. Flavours of floral hops and tropical fruits with hints of lime and grapefruit coming through later to a slightly dry and sticky finish. It’s reasonable enough I suppose but far too much citrus for my taste.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a white head that holds well. Fine carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lemon, soft malt and grapefruit. Flavour of orange pith and melon rind. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. A juicy, refreshing beer with a hoppy, slightly bitter finish. Oakham are Citra masters.
