Bottled (from Beers Of Europe). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, berryish and mildly sour notes. Also some slight wooden and herbal notes. Flavour is the same along with some mild spices. A bit infected, but gets better when it warms up a bit.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask (handpump) at the New Wheatsheaf, Borough, May 2009. Not very gold. Not very exciting. Clean enough. Middle of the road. Pleasantly drinkable but didn’t really leave much of an impression. I have some fuller notes from an earlier sample somewhere but I can’t find them at the moment.

Cask in the new wheat sheaf. Alround rating: Citruisy hop, floral and bitter, honey pale biscuity malts. Nicey balanced and drinkable stuff.

Cask cellar run at Ship & Mitre BF, Liverpool. I come from Kent to Liverpool and have a Sussex beer. Gold, no head. Some fullness from the alcohol. Decent strong beer in the style of Summer Lightning. OK, some stone fruit flavour. Alcohol is a bit obvious. White pepper hop finish.
