2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tasted this in the Pommelers Rest, London (JDW) in July 2008. Cask, handpump dispense. Cloudy pale amber in colour with a thin white head. Zesty grapefruit in the short aroma. Thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give juicy fruit notes of lemon peel and grapefruit strong in the mouth. Strong bitter resins from the booming hop notes add bite to the bitter sweet finish. An ok session blond ale but nothing too exceptional.
