Cask at the Cask, Pimlico - 15/11/12. Clear light golden wih a thin bubbly white head that retains well. Good lacing enuses. Nose comprises hops, light pine, orange, touch of grapefruit. Taste is hops, bitter grapefruit, light pale malts, a little straw, hint of caramel. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, a little bitterness in a dry finish. Decent.

Cask at Craft Beer Co - Islington on 17th November 2012. Amber with thin off-white head. Fruity aroma. Grassy and fruity and tangy hops in-mouth. Tangy citrus finish with a touch of salt. Zingy mouthfeel and fair body to strength ratio.

Leighton (6956) - London, ENGLAND - NOV 25, 2012
Cask at Craft Beer Co. - Islington, London. Pours clear gold with a fine, white cap. Melon and jammy citrus in the nose. Light sweet flavor with sweet fruits and light sticky grass. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Lightly dry on the finish with lime, citrus and straw. Nice, although the condition is sub-par. I’m sure this could be better.

Craft Islington. Clear gold beer, little white head. Light palate, mild carbonation. Decent but mild hops - pronounced tangerine with a tiny bit of skunk. Finishes semi dry. Simple stuff done very well. Really like the tangerine.
