rabidbarfly (57), London, England Jul 21, 2009 Light golden colour, light hoppy nose, intensely refreshing and totally drinkable. Always a winner this beer. TEJA (281), Stockholm, Sweden Jul 7, 2009 Draught at OT. Almost as light as a lager. Realy nice foam for a hand pumped real ale. Small arom of flowers and yeast. Fresh citrus, fruity taste. Big drinkability. evergreen0199 (259), London, Greater London, England Jun 1, 2009 Fresh at the brewery in Sussex. A golden coloured ale with a reasonable white head. Aroma of hops. Crisp tasting hoppy ale with citrus taste. An incredibly tasty beer for such a low ABV. You can drink a gallon of this and feel fine the next morning! sm89walt (433), Norwich, Norfolk, England May 29, 2009 Cask - The Butcher’s Arms, Herne. A golden yellow coloured beer with a fine and frothy, lasting white head. Nice sweetness on the nose with orangey citrus fruits and a grassy note. The flavours combine this citrus backbone with more grassy qualities as well as a delicate floral tone. Lightish body but packed with flavour. Crisp and refreshing with a lasting palate texture and bitterness as well as a warming sensation in the throat. DruncanVeasey (2690), The Penguin’s Arms, Europe, Warwickshire, England May 9, 2009 Gravity, Rugby 09. Brilliant yellow gold haloed with white. Sweaty fresh squeezed hop aroma suggesting grapefruit and lychee. All that in the mouth with lingering oaty vanilla, digestives, rabbit hutch. Sweaty and bulbous at the strength. Classic festival opener. mabel (2530), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Apr 10, 2009 [1885-20081206] Cask. Burlap hops grass aroma. Clear, medium orange brown body with quick white bubbles. Grassy hops flavour is not particularly bitter, long finish. Medium body. Enjoyable, packs some punch with flavour, not alcohol.
(@ Cole’s; Buffalo, NY) PJClarke (609), London, Greater London, England Apr 5, 2009 Cask @ London Drinker 25:
Really pale with a cute white lace.
Big grassy hops on the nose with heavy underlying honey. Quite petrolly.
Big flavours. Hops and cereals fight head-on whilst a tickly bitterness yeilds to mellow hay only to reappear in the back of the throat. All underpinned by tangy marmalade.
Thin and a little grating on the tongue.
Good flavours, if a bit in-your-face. It’s a little hard on the inside of your mouth though. thedees (15), England Apr 4, 2009 Cask Salopian Bar - Golden yellow with a striking cascade hop aroma. Very clean with an abundance of flavour for a beer of its gravity.
