Really strong in alcohol in your mouth, but not very refreshing and not very interesting for me, at least.

Cask handpull at White Star, Liverpool. Golden, thin white head. Lovely citric hop, astringent aroma. OK in mouth. Lots of pale grapefruit. Very good dry finish. Lots of good grapefruit. Malts go a bit missing in the middle
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tasted by half-pint at the White Star pub in the heart of Liverpool, 20/01/06. The beer seems to be provided by the Bowland brewery exclusively for this pub, hence the name.
Dark orangey golden hue, some chill-haze, coming with a thin and foamy head with o.k. retention.
Very mild aroma, mixed with lemony and orangey citrus note of hops, on top of semi-sweetish pale malts. But overll overly light on the nose.
On the palate, semi-sweetish fruity hoppiness comes with lots of citrussy (mainly orangey) flavour and floral aftertaste, underlined by a light-bodied maltiness in the background. Overall, simplistic in terms of flavour and very light and soft on the mouthfeel, it’s however a bit too light-bodied to make a real impression... Light as floral cordial mixed with the lightest bitter one could get. O.K. beer.
