Cask at Glenrothes BF 08. Pumpclip said 4.8%. Hazy copper. Watery clean nose with some maltiness. Mouth is malty, then the cascade hops dominate, grassy. Disjointed with a dry end. Not great.

Not great, had a funny aftertaste. Pretty regular beer. Hops in your face but not in your mouth. Not much else to say.

Cask@St Albans Beer Festival. Some aromatic cascade in the aroma, but in the restrained English style.Some light pine and grapefruit, some leafy hops, could do with a little more flavour.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: APR 30, 2006 Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival 2005. Bright copper colour. Typical Cascade aroma, with resin, and grapefruit notes. But it falls away rather on the palate. Rather soft. Tasted a bit tired to me.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - St Albans BF. An oraney copper coloured beer with some cascade aroma but the smell is a little unfresh. The taste also has cascade hoppiness but it’s not ever so pronounced. Found it tasty though, and I think if they’d called the beer something else we’d have appreciated it a bit more.
