[Cask at the Nags Head, Reading] My first beer from this highly-regarded brewer pours gold with a moderate white head. Light citrussy aroma with floral hints and some straw. Very bitter on first taste, but soon reveals big citrus flavours - marmalade initially, huge juicy fruity bursts in the middle and bitter grapfruit in the lasting finish. An excellent beer that transcends a style I’m often not too fond of. I’ll seek out more beers by this brewer now.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 26/04/09. Pale gold in colour, no head. Big hoppy aroma and flavour, with plenty of grapefruit, a touch of balancing sweetness and a razor sharp dry finish. Excellent.

Cask, gravity dispense, at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Straw coloured with a ring of white head; fruity aroma; light citrus and caramel flavours; lasting peppery bitter finish. Very drinkable but not very memorable.

Cask at W’Spoons Southgate Nth London. Deep brown colour, malty and some toffee and of course the hops. Also a little musty as if an antique beer. US influenced, pretty good find.

Cask at Southgate W’Spoons Nth London. Hazy gold colour, huge hop aroma and taste. Dry, strong citrus taste and very addictive indeed. Hop taste lingers for hours. Almost a US beer but still retaining something English in character. At last an English ale to remember!
