Amber body. Aroma of sour grass. Malt-fruity flavour and dusty hops. Straightforward bitter tail. Somewhat tame and flat in the mouth. Not up to par for a English bitter (cask, sample at GBBF, 06.08.2009).

(Cask at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 5 Aug 2009) Golden yellow colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, grass and pineapple. Fruity taste with grass, citrus, tropical fruit and a decent, citrussy bitternes in the finish. Rather light body with some sweetenss. Fresh citrussy hop character. Nice and refreshing.

Cask at GBBF on 8th August 2009. Gold with lasting white head. Fruit aroma then boldly hoppy. Delicate fruit notes also seek the limelight in the imbiber’s mouth. Dry crisp finish; pleasant, with a smooth texture.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Pale yellow color, small white head, some lace. Sticky "toilet hoppy" aroma, some green apples. Harsh, lime-vegetably hoppy flavor. This tastes a bit like some Czech pilsners. Not very likeable. ar4 ap2 f5 p2 ov8 2.1
