Not much to choose between this and the previous two pale gold summer quaffers I had before - Downton Chimera Wheat and Gales Summer Hog. As I missed this at the Canterbury Beer Festival because it was tucked away on the "pink girly bar", I was pleased to get another crack at it. Crisp and refreshing, with plenty of aromatic hops and a clean dry finish. In other words, entirely fit for the purpose. The extra alcohol didn’t make much impact though. Rather nice. Cask (handpump), The Crosse Keys (JDW), City of London.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An orange beer with no head. The aroma is light - what is there is sweet flowery combined with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet and sticky - too much for me.

Weird flavour of boiled sweets and malt then fades to a gentle fructosey sweetness. Strange stuff. (Cask at Nottingham Beer Festival)

Cask Conditioned, at The Crosse Keys, in The City.
Pale golden colour, with little of no head. Rather lovely bitter though. Smooth bitterness that is slightly cloying on the palate. With Chris_o in toe.
