Cask at the Bulls Head, London Road, Manchester. Bright amber pour with a white head. Citrus, vanilla and fresh bread aroma. Citrus flavour with a malty hop kick. Bitter finish.

AleManTom (185) - Chapel en le Frith, Derbyshire, ENGLAND - JUL 19, 2011
Not much aroma, fruity malts if anything. Not a great deal on the palate but a nice taste. Its not a bad beer, at 4.8% I could drink a few happily.

gary07734 (500) - Tyne & Wear, ENGLAND - APR 4, 2010
Dark-ish amber pint, slightly sweet, brown sugar and malts, background is a little dank and the mouthfeel is oddly creamy. Finishes dank and mild floral hops. Not too impressed.

gracefullypunk (667) - Oregon, USA - MAR 20, 2010
Cask. Serviceable. Reddish brown with plenty of clings. Slight hop and plenty of malt in both aroma and taste

DruncanVeasey (4800) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - FEB 4, 2007
Admirably hoppy, tea-coloured pint with some sourish grapefruit hoppiness in the nose. Musty, leafy, aromatic and bitter with creamy malt afters. Only really let down by its generic, gas-pumped, best-a-man-can-get artificially foaming ’smoothness’.

jonas (4506) - Garching b. München, GERMANY - AUG 19, 2006
Cask. Hazy red amber. Slightly nutty fruity malt base, hoppy flowery. Quite dry mouthfeel.

chriso (7062) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 7, 2006
Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen, RBESG, August 2006. Bright mid brown colour, with a thin but persistent white head. Fresh and fruity. Light hop presence. Nicely balanced and easy drinking. Better than I was expecting from a Banks beer that had travelled halfway across Europe.
