Cask, one-half pint bought at Bar Nouveau, GBBF 09. Dark amber body with a few floaters on the surface. Grain-fruity aroma. Lighter taste of hoppy fruits with a dry hopped ending. Medium to thin bodied. Nice and easy drinking without being great in any way (London, Earls Court 05.08.2009).

One-third pint handpulled at Bar Nouveau, GBBF 09. Clear golden body, naked surface. Discreet smell of marmalade. Dried fruity taste with apricot coming through mixed with fresh citric fruits added by some malty sweetness beneath. Dry hopped ending. Refreshing, without any greater excitements (London, 05.08.2009).
