Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Pale gold with white head. Flowery hoppy bitter with a lager quality about it, must be the hop types. A touch sweet witha slight buttery taste. Reasonable.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival on 3 May 2008. Quite pale colour. Scant white head. A light, lagerish, golden ale with some soft fruity notes on the palate. A touch of grassy hop and hints of biscuity malt complete the picture. Soft, easygoing mouthfeel. Slips down easily enough. Does what it sets out to do competently without generating too much excitement. A bit underpowered for my taste.

Cask gravity @ Reading Beer Festival 2008.
Clear light amber orange color with a small, frothy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, dusty, sweet, notes of butter. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft to flat. (010508)

Gravity at Reading Beer Festival 2 May 08. Golden colored. No head. Fruity aroma and flavor. Dry fruity finish. Well rounded.

Indeed, an easy going drink and the perfect start to our drinking session at this year’s Reading BF. Golden-brown body with no head. Mild fruity aroma. Earty malt mixed with hoppy fruit in taste. Refreshing (sampled with Finn, 02.05.2008).
