Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Quite a bold citrus flavour. Dry and slightly sharp. Drinkable Golden, with some malty character.

Definitely one of Archers most successful offerings. Attractive limpid, glowing golden colour. Floral aroma. Crisp and fresh. Big juicy hops. Assertively bitter, with lots of citrus. maybe becoming a touch astringent the finish. very thirst quenching. Lots of presence. Very impressive. Cask (handpump), The Black Boy, Winchester.

Sampled cask conditioned at Nynäshamn Real Ale Festival, Sweden.
Hazy golden. Flowery hop nose. Dry, rounded, deliciously soft mouthfeel. Flavourful andhop accented with a lingering bitter finish. An excellent, distinct bitter.
