Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 18/9/08. Amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Decent hoppy aroma, with some citrus and pine resin and a touch of sweetness. Flavour began with some sweet malts before orange and red fruit took over, culminating in a decent dry finish. Very drinkable.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Beer Of The Evening (so far), and the most balanced of the Atomic beers I’ve tried. Fibrous, spiky, American-like hopping again (actually Styrian Goldings), but cushioned with biscuit. Earthily citrussy, but leaves you thirsting for another sip. Inviting marmalade aroma with a rub of hopleaf. Tasty.

Cask Handpump at the Victoria, Rugby 17/03/2007
Fruit and hop aromas. Golden coloured smooth on the palate and fruity with some dryness and bitterness in a wheaty malt finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask conditioned - handpump - Victoria Inn Rugby. A golden coloured beer with a decent white head. The aroma has great hops with mandarins and oranges. These are replicated in the taste. Lots of fruity body and lots of character. Good.
