Cask@Beer Hunters, Pori. Golden clear color, big foamy head. Citrusy hoppy nose. Citrusy, grassy hoppy pale ale. Light but nicely balanced. Long bitter aftertaste. Someway similar to WPA, maybe because of pale malts profile?

Bottle conditioned: a radiant pale amber colour, poured with a thick head, quite likely. Malty aroma, taste starts malt then hops kick in, unpleasant vegetable aftertaste.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 3 Aug) Colour is pitch black with a beige frothy head. Nose is roasted with chocolate, hints of smoke and raw fish. Taste is roasted with coffee, dark bitter chocolate and a long bitter finish with notes of cocoa. Smooth and very well balanced. Very nice! Cheers Dorothy!

Cask conditioned at a Tapas Bar, Winchcombe, Sat 29th July 2006 . Pale golden in colour, wonderfully honeyish sweet beer that really slipped down a treat, nice hoppy notes, this really was a very nice beer. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov17 4.0 Had this again Cask conditioned at a The Tram Inn, Eardisley, Herefordshire, Sat 07th July 2012 Light golden in colour with a slim creamy white head, looks superb. Soft in the mouth with some honey, but a lasting hoppiness and middling bitterness then take over, touch dry, maybe not as good as I had 6 years ago times change and tastes change, this beer is in excellent nick it’s just not a 4 rated beer for me anymore. Still it’s a thoroughly decent pint that I’ve had time and time again when over this neck of the woods. A7 A5 T7 P3 Ov14 3.6
