Cask (hand pump) at the Darlington Spring Thing Beer Festival. ABV is 3.9%. Pale golden colour, low head. The aroma is moderate with some citrus. "Dusty" and unpleasant flavour, a little citrussy hop is not enough to save this beer. Fail.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask (handpump) at the Market Porter on 15 January 2011. Hard on the heels of the Five Towns Yorker, this was a rather similar beer. Clean, gold and fresh. Plenty of citric hop character throughout. Some tart lemony acidity. Extremely refreshing. A very promising introduction to a new brewery.

Cask handpull. Somewhere in London. I guess CP&K but I may be wrong. Very pale gold colour with thin white head. Citric on aroma. OK in mouth maybe just a bit too acidic for me. Some decent hop.
