Cask at the Wig & Pen, Norwich, "Post-Xmas Crawl Part 2", 28th Dec 08. Clear golden amber. Lots of citrus flavours. Dry & refreshing but not unbalanced. Good palate - very quaffable. Would have been even better to have been drinking it in summertime.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask conditioned at Norwich Beer Fest ’08. Gold with white head. Particularly fresh tasting beer, not surprising I suppose as the Fest had only been open half an hour. Quite hoppy, bittersweet and tangy fruity. Quite reasonable and it looks like it is better in cask than bottle.

2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
[500ml bottle from The Little Beer Shop, Blofield, Norfolk] Big whiff of sweet malt and fresh, crisp citrus on opening the bottle. Pours a deep gold/amber with a tiny, irregular white head. Slight carbonation yet quite soft mouthfeel. malt and citrus continue in foretaste with some honey. So far, so good, albeit a little watery. But.. oh no... some dry sourness creeps in as you drink more. Sourness fades into a dusty hop finish. An average beer that I wouldn’t particularly choose again.
