Filmy bubbly head. Floral smell. Succulent fruits in flavour with a nice hop bitterness support. Dry palate. Well bodied for the low ABV strength [13.11.2008].

Cask at the New Barrack Tavern, Sheffield, South Yorks, 16-08-08 Almost straw coloured beer with white soft ice cream like head. Little bit thin on first taste, but there was a nice streaky bitterness that started to show and flex its muscles the further down this beer you got, some malts and fruit also, good beer, and a very nice pub with really friendly landlady and landlord.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A cask ale for the hopheads this one. A flowery, peppery, spicy and very mineral golden ale. Clear and wearing a fair white head that slowly fades. Interesting palate has a rather crisp bite for a cask offering. Floral and efficient cutting bitter finish. Light limey and watermelon-like salted cracker notes. Good stuff.
