Bottle. Hazy dull gold with no head. Aromas are sweet and floral with sharp grapefruit that is both zesty and bitter. Flavours are soft malts with lots of sweet grapefruit and hints of kiwi. Dry and hoppy on the finish with a burnt aftertaste. Initially it seems unbalanced but turns out OK.

BCA (from Southwick Brewhouse, BB Apr 07). Golden colour. Musty aromas with some hoppiness noticeable. Fairly dry with a light hoppy finish but stays musty throughout which ruins the freshness.

Cask Fresh @ The Griffin Inn, near Birmingham. Served through a sprinkler. Blonde colour. Creamy head. Head prevents aroma initially, but gives a smooth mouthfeel. Some soft citric notes - a touch of passion fruit and melon. A very pleasant and refreshing session ale.
