1.4 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
Catty and yeasty lime-orange aroma is rather unappealing. Clear golden blonde with low but lasting, white, fine-bubbled head. Lightly spicy, orange, grainy flavour is not terribly good but nowhere near as awful as the aroma suggests. Medium-light body is somewhat thin with fair carbonation. Cask at GBBF 2005.

2003 Solihull beer festival. Pale Golden with thin head. Mild citrus aroma. Citrus and wheat flavour notes. Light body and watery.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Slightly off aroma. A bit of water in the mouth, mit some sliding malt/hopped balance. Strong in neither hop nor malt. Boring and unchallenging.
2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
[Cask at GBBF 2005] A yellow beer with thin head. Both the aroma contains mainly notes of citrus and hops, while the only thing I really pick up in the flavor is citrus. The body is watery. I rather like the aroma, but the flavor is boring and the thin body is a drawback too.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Cask conditioned, GBBF 2005:
A soft uninspiring beer. Very watery and thin. Not good at all.
1.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
[Cask conditioned] Pale yellow coloured. Weak aroma and flavour. Sweet. Thin. Unpleasant sulphury notes.
1.3 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
CASK, Battersea BF: Smells like a clogged drain pipe. Pale yellow color, low head. Light lemony malt once you get past the farty nose. Soapy mouthfeel. Just not good.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask, Battersea Beer Festival, London 2004: Well - kind of offensive for me. Yellow golden, little layer of a head. Kind of farty sulphury nose. Mild soapy taste - but mild soapy is still soapy and that"s no good.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Strange vegetal stale pee aroma. Whilst there is some wheat character there, there is no zing. It came over a dull, thin and unimpressive. But the conditioning (or lack of it) might have had something to do with that. Cask, Battersea Beer Festival.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Gravity @ Buggeredsea Festival. There's wheat in here, just enough to hint at a wheat flavour. It's a clear light blonde colour. Slight sulphur on the nose. Orange flower flavour. Not brilliant. Beer quality at this festival is quite dreadful. This one is decent enough for some quality to shine through.
