Cask-conditioned at the Lower Red Lion, St Albans. Golden with a slight white head. Aroma citrus and grassy hops, with some malty sweetness. Flavour began with some summer fruits, before some big, citrus hopping and a long, dry finish. A very drinkable session bitter.

I spotted this in the Top 10 beers available in scotland today. When i saw the picture i thought "oh i have one of these at home" ... When i went to my Cupboard not only did i have it, but it was sitting in my Drink next section Thanks to Fin for this one i think... So with all the portents i had high hopes ... but to no avail ... Deep black with light thin head ... little coffee and huge amount of hops in nose... huge hop front that kills all the Roast malt character... little roast in background along with a lot of bitter hop... Almost drain pour.

Cask at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks 07-10-08 Pours amber with a white head. I find this to be quite tangy and fruity with a long bitter and dry finish, in fact I found that the bitterness hung around for an age and I could still taste it a few miles up the road at Waddesdon.
