Bottle Conditioned. Nice one! After some very dodgy Leek bottled beers it’s nice to have one that works. I think imdownthepub’s comments are spot on: "There is a pale light malt impact quickly leading on to a floral hop juiciness. Light grapefruit and orange flavours, thirst quenching beer. A very decent package for a 4% beer."

Jun 18, 2009 Bottle from Duncan Murray Wines. Immediate juicy Cascade aroma like a Rowntree’s Lemon and Lime jelly. Fine silky suds over brassy gold. Discreet sulphur and nutty vanilla in the aftertaste, but mostly about that lovely fresh chew of limey US hop. Perfumey, soapy and good. Another uncomplicated, slightly delicious GA I could happily sit in the sun and glug all day, if it ever shone in England.

Jun 14, 2008 Very lively bottle which I notice has a best before date over 2 months old. Poured a very light, almost largery, colour and had lots of sediment. so much so that I had to be extremely careful in pouring but still lost more than I would have liked due to its excessive head. A most pleasant floral taste but not noticeably hoppy and like the previous rater I could find no trace of malt. OK but not brilliant.

Apr 25, 2006 Bottle. Light golden colour with a small head. Lots of sediment. Intense floral hop aroma and no perceptible trace of malt. Citrusy hoppy taste with only a slight degree of bitterness. As near to a cask ale experience as you’ll get from a bottle.

Mar 25, 2006 Cask (handpump) at the Bulls Head, Leek. Gold, thin and dull. Some inappropriate diacetyl on the nose. Flabby mouthfeel. The Cascade hops make little impact. I would suspect the conditioning but in the brewery tap there’s no excuse for serving beer in dodgy nick. Drinkable, but not impressed. Now 3.8%.

Aug 23, 2005 Handpulled at the Cask & Cutler, Sheffield. Lemon and lime nose, clean lemon body, nice and juicy.

Jun 29, 2005 A hazy orange beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is of sulphur, hops, and grass, while the flavor is of sulphur, yeast, and spices. Not really into the sulphur thing - I wonder where it comes from?

May 20, 2005 Bottled. Very pale beer with a bubbly head, the aroma is light and dry, and the flavour is very, very dry and really English in the hop quota. Overall a reasonable beer.
