On tap at White Horse on Parson’s Green. Golden body with slight fuzz. Really hoppy and spicy nose. Peppery and tangy taste. Quite hoppy taste and texture, also grapefruit. Really nice. One of my favourites of the evening.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 23 May 2008) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of lemon, grapefruit and grassy hops. Fruity, hoppy, floral taste with lemon, grapefruit and grassy hops in the finish. Balanced sweetness, slightly soapy. Medium body. Very nice hop character, and retaining balance throughout. Nice one!

Cask conditioned - handpump - Evening Star, Brighton. An orange beer with lots of hops all round. Orange marmalade and piney hops mix nicely in a big chewy beer. A classy tasty beer if just a little too heavy in the mouth.
