Cask at GBBF 06. Gold with thick cream head. Yeasty hoppy bitter. Hop is good. Malt is a little thin. Hop/yeast/caramel are all ok. Hop is herby on finish and really tasty.

Cask at GBBF 2006. Copper colour with disappearing off white head. Sweaty hop aroma, citrus is quite nice. More citrus in mouth, some juicy malt. I liked it.

[Cask at GBBF] Hazy amber. Grapefruity hop aroma. Medium sweet with soft mouthfeel and fairly light body. Aromatic hops dominates from nose to finish, but the malt underneath is soft and pleasant. Medium-high bitterness. Really good!

Cask gravity dispense at London Drinker BF 2006. Copper, bubbly off white head. Nice enough, subtle sweet hop aroma, bit of toffee/butter/ very dry hop finish. Bit of diacetyl maybe or just good solid malty toffee?. Bit earthy but ok

Cask handpull at Fly in the Loaf, Liverpool. Deep gold with thickish beige head. Wish they wouldn’t use such a tight sparkler. Orange fruit some citrus hop, fine, drinkable.

Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival 2005. Hazy reddish amber colour, no head. Citric malt nose, bit of lemon, bit of rubber, quite a good finish, but not sure as the rubber flavour remains and there was a bit of smokiness?
