<i> Cask Conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. </i><br />
Pale gold colour with bubbly white head. Another move at converting the lagerboy crowd, but this one is much better than most. Heaps of citric flavours going on, I agree with lemon and grapefruit with a subtle but filling malt. Hoppy bitterness towards the end, this is a good satsfying beer which may miss its target audience. Good beer.

Sep 8, 2008 Much more impressed with this than the bottled version. This beer didnt agree with pasteurisation. Yellow blonde. Uplifting floral hop aroma and flavours with lightly spiced caramel.

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.
