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.

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

Cask at Ealing beer festival 2010. Golden coloured pour with medium white head. Hoppy, fruity, floral aroma and taste. Quite tasty.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
A urinal block aroma mellows to lemony hops in the mouth. Vaguely unsettling.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
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.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
