Cask conditioned at The White Star, Liverpool. Amber with white head. Hoppy, bright and fruity bitter, good session ale, which was obviously quite a favourite in this pub. Nice bitter finish, good stuff.

(Cask at White Star, Liverpool, 26 July) Colour is dark amber with frothy head. Nose is fruity, nutty with citrus (grapefruit, lemon) and some dusty hops. Taste starts malty and nutty, then turns fruity with citrus (orange, grapefruit) and finishes in a long dusty bitterness. Complex is the word, and very tasty regarding the low abv. Well done.

Cask handpull at White Star, Liverpool. Golden, thin white head. Good citrus aroma, bit dusy. Bit odd flavour, hops don’t entirely work. Very harsh hop finish. Staleish malts.

Cask Handpump at the White Star, Liverpool 19/11/2004 Copper amber colour with some fruitiness. Slight dryness and bitterness and a malty finish.

For the lovers of hops in a pale ale, this one. Loads of bitterness and hop flavour swill around although the flavour is very integrated and may lend itself to a prolonged session. (Cask @ Liverpool Beer Festival)
