Cask Conditioned at Oxford Beer Fest ’08 in company of Hughie & Maeib. Yellow gold with white head. Oooh I liked this one, bright and very hoppy, full of lemon citric notes, tangy and tasty with refreshing bitterness. Good stuff.

50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Pale amber with a fast fading white head; heavy carbonation and lots of fluffy yeast that wouldn’t fully settle before pouring. Honey aroma; citrus flavours, with a long strong dry and bitter hoppy finish with traces of pine resin. Very tasty.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Oxford BF. Glen obviously got the good half! Golden with whitish bubbles for a head. The aroma was on the sweet side with signs of honey. Same in the mouth with some nettles. Decent enough but I didn’t get the hoppiness Glen had at all.

Cask at Oxford BF ’08. Gold. Sweet aroma, possibly fruit and hops in there. Intensely sweet honey taste with slight bitterness. Didn’t go down particularly well, I confess.
