Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. Golden colour. Like the CBF programme says, it is: "Fruity, hoppy and bitter, powerful and warming" - but "tripel style??? This is a strong English pale ale, as far as I’m concerned. Typical pale ale aroma and flavour.

(Cask) Clear golden. Slim white head, stable. Citrussy, lemony hops and Szechuan pepper in the nose. Slight citrussy flavour around the best English hops. Good texture - seldom in a British cask ale. Discreet but fine palate. "One of Roger Protz 10 favourites" it said. He's right. Very much Anglo - Dutch only in colour. Nice!
