First tasted this in Gabriels, Paisley in August 1997. Cask, handpump dispense. Crystal clear pale gold in colour with a thick creamy white head. Thin aroma of fresh green apples and dusty hop resins. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a digestive biscuit note with zesty citric fruit notes of lemon, lime and gooseberry. Resiny hops give a fresh pine note to the long aftertaste. Finish is dry but fruity with grapefruit peel present. A decent session bitter.

Cask Stillage at the Mill At The Pier, Wigan 05/03/2005 Golden coloured hoppy and fruity. Crisp bitter lasting malt finish.

Cask conditioned at Charlbury Beer Festival. Golden amber coloured (Hazed) with slight head. Sweetish light malt bitter, refreshing and fruity, with a prety decent bitter finish. Very pleasant.

Light amber; minerally, with a touch of earthy hops. Simple beer.

Sampled cask conditioned at GBBF.
Amber colour. Malty and fruity, slightly sweetish. Crystal malt flavours leads to a hay finish.
