SaintMatty (1197), Tallinn, Estonia Aug 11, 2008 Cask (Guide Dog,Southampton) - Golden in colour with a small head. Hoppy aroma with grapefruit and a twist of lemon. A well balanced malt and hop combination. Lovely hoppy taste with tangy grapefruit. Very nice and much better than it used to be. fonefan (10868), VestJylland, Denmark Jun 11, 2008 Cask gravity @ Reading Beer Festival 2008.

(020508) Fin (3382), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Jun 8, 2008 Cask, gravity at the Flowerpots brewpub, Cheriton, Hampshire 6th June 2008 Pours warm gold in fact it looks stunning, great clarity and with the tiniest white head. Some honey starts to push though early on and then once the bitterness takes over leaking citrussyness across the roof and edges of the mouth the honey starts to return with sweet malts but also some florally flavours. A good beer but not as good as I was expecting. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Dec 2, 2006 Gravity cask @ Wheatsheaf, Shedfield. Golden colour. Citrussy zest and peppery hop nose - quite inviting. Sweet malt character similar to the bitter I had on the same night but more pronounced. Tingly peppery hop flavours but the bitterness is too restrained. Finishes a bit sweet for me. On subsequent tastings at the Flowerpot pub and elsewhere this hasnt really improved for me.
