Superb use of East Kent Goldings hops, lager and wheat malts. Classy bit of stuff.

A slightly hazy yellow/orange beer with a small head. The aroma is hoppy with citrus notes. The flavor is very fresh fruity and flowery with notes of straws, lemonpeel, grapefruit, and aroma hops. A nice refreshing beer.

Hazy blond color. Very nice hoppy aroma, herbal and hearthy. Smooth, quite good, malty, very good hopping. Perfumy. Excellent, as usual.

Cask@GBBF 04’. You can always count on Crouch Vale. After a relatively poor run on English beer, me and ChrisO decided to go for this little number. Nothing fancy, just nice, solid, fresh and hoppy. Some subtle lychee and lemon fruit, nice dry, medium bitter finish, very more-ish, and very well balanced.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Golden beer with bubbly white head. Flowery, grassy hop which belies the intensity in the mouth. Flowery/floral hop, underpinned by biscuit malt with intense hop finish. Really tingles the tongue. Good supping beer. So good I had to get another half.

[Cask conditioned] Hazy golden coloured. Some hoppiness and some bitterness in the finish. Fresh, but light.
