UPDATED: DEC 11, 2011 Cask-conditioned at the Three tuns, Bristol 20/08/2011. Clear deep gold with a slight white head. Aroma of gooseberries, pineapple and slightly sweet malts, More fruit in the flavour with a solid malt backbone and dry, slightly prickly finish. Excellent {3.9}. 11/12/2011 at the Three tuns. Gooseberry and other fruit was even more pronounced with a hint of tea and jasmine - brilliant, this should be a permanent beer. Jon Comer take note! [4.3]

Pours straw yellow with a good white head. Tastes and smells of flowery citrus fruits. The tastes are quite mild with a little bitterness on the finish. Low in alcohol, very drinkable and refreshing, perfect for hot summer days.

Cask at CRAFT BEER Co. on 7th September 2011. Hazy gold with white bubbly foam. Rich grassy hop aroma. Thick grassy hop and beautiful herbs/bayleaf notes blended with an intense bitternes in mouth, termpered by delicate honey notes. Rich and intense bitter finish. One of the best UK beers I have drunk in 2011. Exquisite.
