Delightful hoppy nose and mild hoppiness in taste. Also crisp but retains a good body.

Benjii (2369) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAR 1, 2012
On cask at The Three Judges. Pours a blonde colour with a decent white head. Citrusy aroma of lemon, pine, caramel, yeast and alcohol. Similar flavours with some lemon cheesecake also. Moderate carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel. Mildly bitter with a nice dry finish. OK.

tommann (1443) - Dudley, West Midlands, ENGLAND - AUG 14, 2011
Cask at the Britannia, JDW, Blackheath. Pours gold with a medium head. Aroma is piney hops and tropical fruits. Taste has citrus to start, a piney hop finish and tropical fruit on the aftertaste. Tasty stuff.

downender (4382) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - AUG 7, 2010
Cask-conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 7/08/10. Deep gold in colour with a moderate white head. Floral hope aroma, with some hay and a hint of sweet malts. Easy drinking, with some grainy malts, citrus fruits and dry finish. The alcohol was well hidden. Very good.

evergreen0199 (959) - Northwood, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 10, 2010
Cask at Ealing beer festival 2010. Golden coloured pour with medium white head. Hoppy, fruity, floral aroma and taste. Quite tasty.

Alphadelic (1470) - Portland, Oregon, USA - APR 25, 2010
A urinal block aroma mellows to lemony hops in the mouth. Vaguely unsettling.

imdownthepub (7461) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - AUG 30, 2009
Cask conditioned at Far from the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Bright gold with white head. For such a pale beer there are big flavours, hoppy with a drying grapefruit character and particularly bitter with a cut grass freshness. Good and refreshing, very nice.

DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - MAY 28, 2009
Cask in the new wheatsheaf, london bridge. Alround rating: Fruity manago and pashion fruit character, citrus hop lemonishness, bit of grainy pale malts. Again just too cold, but a good beer it seemed.
