Bottle conditioned. Pale hazy gold with a thin white head. Aromas are caramel, biscuit and citrus. Clean and hoppy. Flavours are sweet citrus with lots of addictive, fresh hops. Good.

Hazy straight golden. Lasting white head. Pretty strawy upfront, certainly grainy nose, but balanced by a fresh grassy hop bite. The strong mineral character hides a slight sulfury hints which works quite well with the water saltiness. Good integration through and through, hoppy, yet clearly malt oriented quaffer.

Cask Handpump at the Star Inn, Huddersfield 04/12/2004 Golden coloured and hoppy with some floral aroma. Slightly bitter full malt finish.

A straightforward pale, fresh, hoppy, tangeriney tasting beer with a little malt support. Nice, but a bit 1-dimensionally hoppy. (Cask at Nottingham Beer Festival)

Gravesend Fest. A fresh hoppy pale amber beer with fragrent flowers hinting towards butter and soft citric mangoe fruit. Lovely balance - very enjoyable. White lillies in a heady perfume.
