COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Seasonal - Summer.
Brewed for the first time in the summer of 2006 using a new (to us) aroma hop, Chinook, which is promised to give lemon and grapefruit flavours. Along with some good bitterness from hops in the copper this should be a refreshing summer drink.

Cask conditioned handpump The Pub Leicester. A golden beer with a loose white head. Really nice hops in the nose. Gooseberry to the fore. Also great hoppy flavours in the mouth, although there’s a weird wet wood note. Super bitterness and great hops. Good.

Cask. Criterion, Leicester. Apple cores and spruce. Hoppy. Caramel malt base. Clear golden amber colour with a medium white head with good lacing. Taste is medium bitterness. Palate is clean and very refreshing with some oiliness. Dryness on the finish.

DanielBrown (2714) - Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, ENGLAND - MAY 16, 2010
Hand pulled at the Pub, Leicester. Golden beer, with no head. Very thin body. Lemony, fast fading hops. Very clean and refreshing. A good, but not massive Golden.

JamieFerdinand (163) - Hove, East Sussex, ENGLAND - MAY 3, 2010
On draught in the Devonshire Cat, Sheffield. Golden coloured and summery beer. Some lemon flavours but overall not a strong tasting beer. A little insipid when compared against Abbeydale Absolution. Not bad but not good.

Cask, Swan and Rushes, Leicester. Dark gold with an off-white head. Aromas are spicy pine and caramel with floral notes and nice hops. Flavours are sweet and earthy with spicy pine hops. Pretty good.
