(Cask at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 4 Aug 2010) Pale golden colour with greenish hints. Brief white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grass and generous doses of very fresh hops. Probably dry hopped. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, grass, tropical fruit (pineapple) and lots of fresh hops in the finish. Impressive hop presence, with more focus on aroma than on bitterness. Slightly below medium body, with some sweetness. Very nice and tasty.

Okay - not happy - was expecting a free biscuit with this! Lightly hazy pale gold beer. Good suddy white head. Hoppy fruits of light ornage and pineapple. Finishes over dry but generally a decent beer.
