Has a somewhat sticky sweet finish with tea-like herbal bitterness that lingers. Good stuff.

Cask@Volo!
Light nose of wet hops and some very good malt, golden amber, pours a slim, off-white head leaves some pretty lace. The flavour has even more of those wet hops also more of the good malt. Light bodied, very well balanced a real treat. Great stuff!
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask. Orangeish golden colour with small foamy head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel malts, fruity and floral hopss along with some wooden notes. Flavour is quite much the same. The maltyness is rather strong.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask. At Volo Cask Days 2009. Clear gold pour with a solid white head. Floral hop and slightly sweet canola grain aroma, quite pungent and fresh - the taste follows, with an odd bit of acetone harshness, but still plenty of fresh cereal grain - and a really welcome funky dry hoppiness kicks in after a few seconds, this is surprisingly bitter. Chewy, bitter mouthfeel, decent carbonation, with a long grainy/herbal-acidic finish. The acetone sharpness detracts a bit, but overall a solid brew.

[2568-20091031] Cask. Fresh grass soap hops aroma. Clear, medium orange body with a quick white bubbly head. Soapy orange grass hops flavour is a little bitter. Medium body. Wow, great balance overall if you ignore that soapy quality.
