3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear pissy gold colour with a reserved white head. Grassy hop and gooseberry aroma. Quite lively carbonation. Flavour had some juicy citrus notes in tandem with some decent mouth coating hop bitterness that stuck around well into the finish. All considered a decent beer, much better than anticipated.

Bottle from Darts Farm. Cloudy pale straw yellow, mid-sized white head. Solid malty base, perfect to balance the mighty hop flavours. Resiny, citrusy and with hints of gooseberry.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Gravity at the Kingston beer festival 2012, golden with not much head, tart golden fruit and hops on the nose, malty body with fruit and citrus hops overlaying, dry hoppy yet faintly sweet finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hand pulled at the Anchor, Birmingham. Golden, with an inch of head and a fruity hop smell. This one initially tasted a bit sweaty and gritty, but as it runs along the length of my tongue, it turns into a pleasantly sweet, gritty hop.
