Dry refreshing orange amber coloured beer with a delicate nose, quite spirity with a touch of blackcurrant. Initially quite bitter, dry and malty the finish is slighty ginger and spicy.

Aroma seems minimal what is there is grassy with a touch of toffee. Taste has more hop character touch of citrus, more like caramel than toffee and a decent bitter finish.

Cask at GBBF 2006. A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy giving it light notes of grass. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of grass and grapefruit, leading to a nicely bitter end.

Cask (handpump) at GBBF, Day 3, August 2006. Hazy amber colour. Mellow, herbal aroma. Slightly spicy. Fruity flavours. Quite tasty. Clean and fresh with a decent grip in the mouthfeel. Pretty decent stuff.

Cask (GBBF 2006): Buttery honey with some fresh fruity. Very morish berries and apricots. Golden in colour. Tasty stuff.

Cask@GBBF06. Copper colour. Hoppy and a little spicy (i though there may be ginger in this???). Some citric (orangey) hops in the finish, quite pleasant, but i didn’t really appreciate the ginger character.
