(Cask at Bree Louise, London) This beer was very citric. There were citricness both in aroma and in taste. Aroma had some yeast, too, which didn’t really fit in so well. Maltiness was quite low which wasn’t really a surprise. Aftertaste was long lasting and bitter. Nice.

500ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a large head. Aroma is orangey hops, some grass too. Some grass to start. Nice strong bitter finish with some citrus. Good body for the low strength.

Cask at The Rake, London. Pours a hazy yellow-gold with a strong, white head. Hoppy aroma with grass and zesty citrus. Lightly sweet with tons of bitterness in the form of grapefruit and pine, mostly. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Finishes very dry and hoppy with subtle malts. Great.

Cask at Bree Louise. Pours a pale yellow with a thin head. Hoppy nose with citrus and straw. Sweet flavor with light cereal and lots of hop bitterness, lemony. Medium in body with fine carbonation. Crisp, lingering bitters. Almost like an IPA. Very good.

Cask-conditioned at the Wellington, Birmingham 31/08/10. Deep gold in colour with a slight white head. Big, tropical fruit aroma with some sweetness. Flavour was big on the fruit, with grapefruit, tangerines and pineapple with a hoppy,dry finish. Good, but a bit too much going on for me.
