3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask (gravity dispense) at Derby Beer Festival, July 2005. A generously hopped, pale gold coloured beer. Very crisp, with a fresh and juicy mouthfeel. The hops are quite herbaceous - grass and hay - with plenty of citric notes too. Good and refreshing.

Gravity @ Derby BF. Big on the grapefruit, clean yellow body, hoppy nose, quite frothy and sorbet like, very quaffable.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask conditioned - gravity - Derby BF. A golden coloured beer with a bit of an orange hue. The aroma is fruity with some orange and pineapple together with a nice hoppiness. The taste is nice and hoppy with some juicy grapefruit notes, but it needs a bit more body for my liking.
