[on draught at the Lyndhurst Ale House, Reading] 4.1% ABV when I tried this. Pours an amber-brown with a good, lasting creamy head. Intense floral hop aroma. Soft creamy mouthfeel, with spring flowers in the intial taste. Flavour mellows into a soft earthiness - feels like you’ve drunk an entire flowerbed from the top down! Quite unusual, but very enjoyable and easy to drink. Becomes a little bland in the aftertaste but otherwise a top-notch Spring/Summer beer.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Attractive amber colour with lasting dark beigehead. Slightly coffee caramel aroma and flavour. Good nick. Fullish in mouth with raisins/sultana fruit mixing with fullish malts and slight creamy coffee to give a fruit cake feel. Very good deep full bitter. Decent hoppy sting on finish. Not really my style, but I still give it a good score for the flavour.

Medium offwhite coarse head does not last. Hazy yellow body. Light delicate floral resiny aroma with honey and malts notes. Balanced and very harmonic. Dry-sweet resiny honeyish taste with earthy pale malts notes. Soft, mild, dusty mouthfeel. Dry dusty floral aftertaste. Nice! (0.25l cask, St. Urho’s pub.)
