First tasted this in the Ale House, Paisley in September 1991. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale amber in colour with a thick foam head. Good hop prickle in the dusty aroma. Thin light refreshing mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malt base gives a light digestive biscuit note but little else. Strong hop resins give a big bitter dryness in the citric aftertaste. Strong grapefruit flavours are present in the dry finish. An ok session bitter but the Greemantle is more to my taste.

Cask Stillage at the Crown Hotel, Malton 11/12/2004 (ABV 3.9%) Amber golden coloured with a little sour fruit flavour and a dry lasting malt finish.
