imdownthepub (7491) - Banbury, - MAR 26, 2007
Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest 07. Pale straw with white head. Thin pale bitter, lagerish type malt, crisp and clean but quite characterless for me. Some hop, grassy springs to mind. Average.

Cask by handpump at Last Post, Paisley (26 May 12) - part of battle of the brewers between Houston, Fyne and Sulwath - clear pale yellow ale, creamy white head, citrus hop aroma, good temperature, lemony, quite high carbonation, refreshing

Avalanche on lasissa kauniin keltainen ja kirkas. Sen vaahto on valkoinen ja pieni kerros sitä sinnittelee oluen pinnalla pitkään. Tuoksussa on greippiä, kukkaisuutta, keksiä ja hieman mallasta. Maku on raikkaan greippinen, hieman maltainen, keksinen ruohoinen ja katkera. Virkistävän kepeää ja maukasta nestettä.

dantheman278 (980) - SCOTLAND - FEB 8, 2012
Cask at cloisters. Pale golden amber, creamy white head. Biscuit malt, big grapefruit hop nose. Hint of citrus. Sweet malt front, bready, juicy fruity hop, grapefruit and pineapple perhaps. Smooth bitter linger. Surprisingly full bodied. Excellent beer.

Really good aroma . Excellent blond colour . A prefect starbright beer . Superb hop profile . Good clean resin flavours and very fresh flavours. The malt character is high quality pale malt also like whisky malt carbonation light but good and soft .

Pours a really watered down lemonade, but it had a nice head on it while it lasted. The aroma is pleasant, grassy hop with really light citrus smells, a little bit of a biscuit malt. Taste has the same hops as in the smell. Its grassy and faint lemon notes, little bit bitter. There’s a little bit of bready flavour. Bitterness lasts through to the finish, and the mouth feel is fitting. Really light and matches the carbonation of the beer really well. Obviously at 4.5% there’s no alcohol in the taste. I’m pretty confident I could down a 500ml bottle in about 5 minutes without noticing it, if I was out somewhere. It’s pretty much just the epitome of refreshing well done blond ale. There’s not a whole lot going on, but what is in there is put together well. on the down side… kinda looks like pee…
