Aroma had fruitiness, grass and malts. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, pine, malts and bitterness. Afteraste was hoppy and bitter. A surprisingly hoppy cask ale but also a good and well balanced one.

Cask. Haze gold with thick creamy head. Loads of sweet hoppiness on the nose: sweet pineapple and some lemon fizz. Even tastier in the mouth: lots of tropical flavour of pineapple, grapefruit, sweet sugars. Like a can of lilt.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(cask, hand pump) Golden coloured, clear. Aroma has lots of citrus, mainly like orange peel or marmalade, piney, plus some cereal-like malts. Taste is lightly sweet with a moderate bitterness, good balance. Medium body. Well-rounded, balanced, smooth. Makes me think of liquid marmalade. Nice.
