Very pale golden colour. Almost in a lager style, but with a much more assertive hop presence. Some pale malt and plenty of bitterness. Well balanced and refreshing. A hint of sweetness on the finish. Not much aroma but, otherwise, pretty decent. Cask (handpump), Boars Head, Brecon, Wales.

Cask Stillage at the Memorial Hall, Northwich 18/09/2004 Golden coloured with a slightly hazy appearance. Fruity aroma. Dry lasting slightly bitter malt finish.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] An orange beer with no head. The is so faint, that I can’t pick up any special notes. The flavor is dry hoppy and grassy, while the body is thin. Too weak flavorwise for me.

[Cask conditioned] Golden coloured. Weak aroma. Rather sweet and fruity flavour. Boring and not very refreshing.

Orange and brown with a small white head. Aromas are sweet orange and spices with citrus zest. Flavours are also mainly oranges and spice, with some caramel malts and a dry fruity finish. Quite bitter - like the spray from a peeled orange skin - whatever that is called.
