Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest ’12. Gold with white head. Quite a light fruity beer with a pleasing citrus note above a pleasant malty body. Lasting and quite dry on the palate, refreshing and enjoyable. Decent.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask (handpump) at Egham Beer Festival on 20 August 2011. A clean, dry golden ale. Decent condition. Light flowery aroma. Some citrus. Firm mouthfeel. Citrus persists into the aftertaste. Considering this apparently uses only UK hops (Challenger) they have teased out a decent zesty, zingy character. My favourite of the Complete Pig beers.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
[Bottle from brewer’s own stand at the Chilterns Festival of Food, Great Missenden] Deep gold, lightly sparkling, moderate white head. Light and refreshing with hints of citrus. Completely unmemorable, but not unpleasant, and would undoubteedly make a good summer thirstquencher.
