Cask at the Pembury Tavern on 21st July 2009. Amber with short-lived off white head. Citric hops in main kick, otherwise on the sweet side. Quite a viscous, clingy texture with a feeling that the beer wanted to "glue" itself to the roof of the mouth.

(Draught at Sand Bar, Manchester, 23 July 2009) Pale yellow colour with brief, white head. Fruity, grassy nose with citrus, tropical fruit, hay and grassy hops. Fruity taste with notes of citrus, tropical fruit and a balanced bitterness in a finish with grassy hops. Tasty and fresh. Farily light body, rather dry. Being used to English lagers being rather tasteless, this was a positive surprise.

Draught @ The New Oxford, Manchester, England. @ [ RBESG 09 ]. Hazy strawberry red/pink color with floating seeds. Pleasant fresh strawberry aroma and flavor. Very sweet and you don’t feel the alcohol at all. A nice refreshing drink (maybe not beer though :P ).

Half, hand pulled from cask at The Castle, Holborn. Shiny, naked surface. Straw-golden coloured body. Discreet floral aroma. Dry hopped fruits in flavour. Smooth bitterness to the ending. Refreshing (London, 03.08.2009).
