COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
NOTE: The bottled version (at 4.2%) has a separate listing.
Light ale with fresh taste and citrus aroma.
Named after a fishing fly used for luring trout, this blonde ale has a refreshing palate due to the use of high quality pale ale malt. By blending different hops at various stages of the brewing process we have been able to produce a citrus aroma with a balanced bitterness.

Cask handpump at GBBF, Trade Day 03-08-10 Pours pale gold with white bubbling head. This is quite a shock after all of those US hoppy beers in that its back to the wonderful simpleness of a UK cask beer. There is a soft sweetness, some citrus on the nose and in the mouth, easy going and jolly tasty. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

imdownthepub (7461) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - DEC 21, 2008
Cask conditioned at The Anchor, Birmingham. Pale gold with white head. As KnutAlbert says, a good session beer, eggy, sulphery notes, quite fruity and rounded and really fairly tasty. I liked it.

KnutAlbert (4587) - Oslo, NORWAY - DEC 19, 2008
Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2008. Smooth, drinkable, but there is nothing extra here to make it truly fine. A good session beer.
