On cask @ the 2005 British Ale Fest @ Buckeye Brewing 4/1/05: Smallish white head on a light amber body. Surprisingly grapefruity citrusy aroma for an English ale. Pale malt aroma; medium apple fruitiness & a touch yeasty. Well balanced overall, green apple fruit flavor & lightly citrusy hop flavor; dry finish w/a clean, hoppy, aftertaste. Malt flavor balances hop flavor throughout. Low carbonation, smooth m/f, lighter medium body. Nice, easy drinking, flavorful session beer.

Oct 9, 2007 Nose of grapefruit, lemon, malt and hops. Pours a deep golden orange. Taste is refreshing with grapfruit and lemon dominating. More maly than summer beers. Leaves a dry finish. Nice.

Fruity, hoppy aroma - apple and peach. Light amber, loose head. Pleasantly hoppy with a caramel, sweet finish. A bit flowery too.
