Cask (William IV, Leyton, Brodies Christmas Cracker 2009)
Fruity hoppy aroma - mango and other fruitiness. Fruity hops, nice and crisp, in good balance with a light and creamy malty body. Fresh and crisp and very sessionable.

[cask at the King William IV, Leyton] [Shoreditch Sunshine on pump clip] Golden pour, thin white head. Aroma of sweet malt and grassy, citrus hop – although overall the aroma is quite faint. Taste-wise, a bitter golden ale. Decent but quite thin, the slightly musty hop and malt flavours just about come through, as does the dry finish, but it needs a bit more oomph [20092011]

500ml bottle from Drink of Fulham, drunk at home, 20th Dec 2010. Looks great - very slightly hazy straw gold with a lazy white head. Grapefruit on the nose and in the taste as expected. Bitter finish. How to do a quaffable summer beer with decent hopping.

Cask @ Old Coffee House. Pours a clear pale gold, with a small white head. Quite dry and crisp, strong citrus, grassy, piney, strong initial grapefruit, with a dry bitter finish. Enjoyable apart from an old sock smell in the pub

Cask at The Coffee House, London. Pale golden color, small offwhite head. Hoppy metallic aroma. Fruity hoppy citrus flavor, a bit thin.

Cask at the Cross Keys. Pours a clear, light yellow with a foamy, white head. Holds a beautiful, citra hop nose with orange, lemon and straw. Flavor is mildly sweet, faintly doughy, with great citric bitterness, grass, fine lemon and pine. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Fairly bitter finish, citrus rind in the throat, modest but just enough malty sugars. This beer is superbly balanced and insanely good. Well done, Brodies.

Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival 05.02.11 Pours light gold with a white bubbly head. Some crisp grapefruit comes through initially, nice fruitiness all the way bit dry at end, good bitterness and not too sweet so quite refreshing. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

ChrisOs Christmas Tasting. Clear pale gold beer. Light white head. Light frothy palate. Pleasant citrus, very orange marmalade. Whisper of peach and some grassy bitterness. As per the brewers notes - a great session beer.

Bottle at Chris NY Tasting 2010. Pale gold lasting head. Good condition some sherbert and bit of flowery fragrance. Really drinkable

From cask at William IV. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a fully gone head. Aroma is crisp citrusy hops fruity. Mild grassy to herbal hops in the flavour. Mild bitter and crisp fruity. Bitter and bone dry into the finish.

Cask conditioned at The Cross Keys, Covent Garden, London. Gold with white head. Initially a deep sulphery nose, overblown eggs, but in to the beer this gives it a crisp edgy flavour, nicely bitter and plenty of the cascade hops. Good stuff.
