[Gravity pour from cask at the Basingstoke Beer Festival at a stated ABV of 4.3%.] A golden pour with a translucent head; fruity malt aroma; crisp malty taste; with a dry finish. Clean and refreshing, but instantly forgettable.

[Gravity pour from cask at the Basingstoke Beer Festival] A somewhat murky looking chestnut brown pour with a cream head; fruity malty aroma; but rather strange in the mouth, with the various hops seeming to clash and compete with each other rather than blending together harmoniously. Just about drinkable, but leaving me wanting something to clear my palate afterwards.

[Gravity pour from cask at the Basingstoke Beer Festival] A straw coloured pour with a ring of white head; fresh citrusy aroma; sharp citrusy taste, more interesting than most Citras with some tangerine. Tasty, clean and refreshing.

[Gravity pour from cask at the Basingstoke Beer Festival] A somewhat murky ruby brown pour with a translucent rim; sweet grainy aroma, not particularly oaty; then tasting of caramel malts with a hint of blackcurrant; and some spice and chocolate to finish. A pleasant mild, but let down by its appearance.

[Cask at the Nags Head, Reading.] A pale amber pour with a scant white covering; unusual tropical fruit aroma; sour mango taste with a seemingly thick milkshake body, contradicting the appearance; then more sharp but juicy fruit to close. Very different.
