(Cask at Akkurat) Poured pale golden and lightly hazy with medium sized and white head. Aroma contained citric hops and something I didn’t recognise but which must have been elderflower. Palate was medum bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, citricness, something unknown that must have been elderflower, bitterness, sweetness, malts and hops. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter.

28th September 2007. St Albans Beer Fest. Mid brown ale. Very distinct fruity and apple tones. A little shap fruit in the dry finish. Quite an appley ale. Tastes fine but is it a bit green?

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 4 Dec 2009) Golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of apricots, citrus and honey. Fruity taste with apricots, citrus, grass and malty sweetness. Rather light body. A decent golden ale, but a touch too sweet for my liking.

Gravity cask at Pig’s Ear festival, London on 2nd December 2009. Amber with a vanishing white head. Sweetish initial caramel malt aroma; dry sharp grapefruit citric hop and notes of dry hazelnut. A dry, increasingly sharp bitter finish. Quite aggressive flavour contrasts.
