One-third pint from gravity dispense at The Mid East England Bar, GBBF 09. Yellow-golden body. Vague smell of floral fruit. Subdued flavour of tropical fruits. Short-lived bitter ending. Drinkable, but in danger of getting a bit too bland in the mouth (Earls Court, 07.08.2009).

Gravity cask at the Pembury Tavern on 15th July 2009 during the pub’s summer festival. Aliased on cask label as "Nottingham Rock Ale". Crystal clear gold with small off-white head of creamy nature. Light malt/hop initial aromas with grass and grapefruit featuring. Then a hempy hop kick with some slight savoury notes - cheese in the forefront and a slightly herby nose. Finish is bitter, slightly saline/salty on an engagingly textured mouthfeel. A delicious, more-ish session ale, very enjoyable indeed.
