Cask Conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival Fri 21-04-06. This for me was one of the best beers that I had a Banbury during the evening. An exceptionally good light golden coloured beer that reveals a lovely aroma slightly citrusy and a touch malty. This has a really great balance of bitterness and sweetness and is also both crisp and refreshing a superb beer.

Ungstrup (23918) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 8, 2006
[Cask at GBBF 2005] An orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and malty - and so is the flavor though combined with a floral note - is it Cascade? The mouthfeel is slightly sticky. All in all a nice beer.

Cask @ GBBF 2005: Yellow coloured. Hazy. Fluffy white head. Crisp and hoppy beer. Is quite fresh and herbal. Has some nice sweet notes to balance the hoppyness. Is a bit thin and weak in the end. Ends on a light bitter note.
