(Cask at The Rake, London Bridge, London, 21 May 2011) Dark amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of citrus, orange, toffee and caramel. Fruity, hoppy taste with orange, apricots, toast, marmalade and a generous, citrussy bitterness in the finish. Rather light body, with balanced sweetness. Nice and well made bitter with a fairly low abv, making it highly drinkable.

On tap at the Rake. Hazy gold beer, tiny white head. Light dry palate. Low carbonation. Fresh grapefruit hops with a decidedly minty ginger edge. Nice flavour, a little more condition would really elevate this.

Medium offwhite head. Hazy reddish amber body with light carbonation. Strong earthy resiny aroma with tropical fruit and citrus notes. Interesting how it’s both musty and fresh. Dry-sweet intensely fruity resiny earthy taste with pineapple notes. Mid-bodied. Slightly sharp mouthfeel. Dry-sweet buttery earthy tropical fruit aftertaste with resiny lime and oranges notes. Unusual for the musty, earthy parts, but lovely and highly drinkable. (0.5l bottle, beermerchants.com.)
