Cask gravity at The George, Bethersden, Summer BF 2006. Pale copper with thin lasting off white head. Yeasty, hoppy, citrus aroma. Fine in mouth, malts are there but understated. Very dry hoppy finish. Earthy, spritzey finish. Overall, a yeasty, citric bitter.

Cask at Merton Beer Festival, Oxfordshire, July 7th and 8th 2006. Golden colour beer that really didn’t appear to be 4.6%. Refreshing citrusy notes nodding towards grapefruit that gave it a pleasant tang. This really is a very good session beer but at 4.6% might just be a bit too strong after a few. [i] [b] Cask at The Catherine Wheel, Goring-on-Thames, Oxon leg 5 of the Thames Tipple (Goring to Wargrave) 14-06-08 [/i] [/b] Golden colour with thin white head. An easy drinking beer, nice subtle fruitiness, some citrus on the nose really simple but lovely for a warm day [i] [b] 3.5 [/b] [/i] Score remains the same

Cask at the Wharf, Aalborg, DK. Still, copper-colored beer with a small off-white head. Malty and bitter on the nose, with some pineapple. Same on the flavor, but there are some caramel too there. Medium body and a bitter finish. (060506)

(Bottled) Colour is dark amber, brownish, with firm off-white head. Nose is malty, rather hoppy, with hints of toffee and caramel. Taste is slightly roasted, with hints of butterscotch, toffee, chocolate and a nice creamy and hoppy finish. Fresh hoppy bitterness. Medium body, slightly creamy texture. Nice and tasty indeed for such a low abv, and a very nice surprise found in a Swedish supermarket.

Bottled. Colour is amber, with big white fluffy head. Aroma is hoppy and a bit honey with some malts in it. Flavour is honey, flowery hops and mouldy. Weird thing is that there is something very alcohol-like in finish.

(Cask at Priory Arms, Stockwell, London 21 Apr 2006) Colour is pale amber. Nose is fruity and malty with hints of sweet honey. Taste is malty, fruity (mandarin) with sweet honey notes and some hops in the finish. A refreshing and enjoyable ale, but exciting? Not really.

Cask at Banbury Beer Festival Fri 21-04-06. Golden beer with a small head, good level of bitterness but honey flavours can be detected. [i] Cask at The Swan Bicester 29-09-07 [/i] Nice crisper tasting than I remembered, honey still everpresent but less than I recall, quite fruity and bitter. [b] 3.4 [/b]
