Bottle from Taste of Northumbria in Alnwick. Appearance - golden with a neat lacy head. Nose - lemon and grassiness. Taste - more lemon notes. Grass again or even herbs. Palate - light bodied, long dry and zingy. Overall - good for the low ABV.

Cask-conditioned at Gloucester Beer Festival, 31/3/2017. Golden in colour, with a thin, white, head. Aroma of citrus fruits and floral hops. Flavour had more fruits, some cereal malts, with a jarring toasty edge, before a dryish finish. Fine.

Gravity poured third of a pint at the CAMRA Peterborough Beer Festival on 24th Aug 2016. Sorry to say this was the worst beer of the day: just awful. Mini-haze to the pale blonde pour, small white wispy head. Farmyard esters filled my nose, like a nasty, overpowering โsaisonโ that had gone wrong: taste carried on in the same way. A lesser man would have drain poured it, but I manfully finished the third and carried on my mission. I just hope the cask was infected because it can not have left the brewery in such a state.

Gravity poured third of a pint at the CAMRA Peterborough Beer Festival on 24th Aug 2016. The second worst beer of the day (sadly this breweries Village Gossip won that award). It looked fine, clear copper with a red hue, off-white top. Aroma had a farmyard feel with a slight ginger whiff, the taste similar, was not right at all; infected cask or just an awful beer.
