(Cask at Market Porter, Borough, London, 8 Aug 2008) Golden colour with brief, white head. Fruity, fresh nose with notes of citrus and floral hops. Fruity, fresh taste with lots of citrus and a rather bitter finish with floral, citrussy hops. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Nice and refreshing beer.

Bottle, that has been kicking around amongst my beer stash for far too long Pours dark brown slight murkiness to it (careless pouring) Big on maltiness in mouth and on nose, some dried fruits and nuts but little else, nice but Vale can and do, do better beers.

Cask at GBBF 08. Gold, thin white head. It’s a fine golden ale, some toffee, some hop, some fullness because of the alcohol. But ultimately a little empty. Some lemon flavour towards the end.

Cask @ Market Porter, London. Sparkling, caramel. More like a cola. Bit boring.
