(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 4 Aug 2009) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with citrus, lemon and apricots. Fruity taste with notes of citrus, apricots, tropical fruit and a balanced, citrussy bitterness in the finish. Rather thin body, balanced sweetness. Nice one.

Cask at the Dragon, Worcester, 27-06-09 Poured light amber, the nose was full of vanilla and floral touches, very pleasant. Good fruity bite, there was a real whirly bitter-sweet combination going on here finishing dry and bitter. Not a lot to say about this as it was quite a crash, bang wallop beer, but bloody good stuff and it more than held its own with the two Little Ale Cart beers. A8 A4 F7 P4 Ov15 3.8

Blond color. Wonderful aroma of fruity hops (bergamot, cedar and other rare citrus fruits). Dry mouthfeel, with dry toffee flavor and strong bitterness, again the same wonderful citrusy hops, lightly piney too. Lovely.
