UPDATED: MAR 30, 2009 Cask, Coventry 09. Brilliant but headless orange gold. Aroma has some grape and apple juice sweetness softening the grapefruit. Tropical breakfast juice hoppage including passion and grapefruit. White grape, big stinging hop dryness, softening vanilla. Malts a bit understated. Simple hop refreshment, with plenty of bittering and aromatic presence.

Cask at Merton Summer Beer and Cider Festival 2009 18-07-09 Pours gold, good clarity and with a nice white head, looked very good but in the head to head with the most similar beer here namely Millstone Tiger Rut it was beaten on looks.

Cask at the New Inn, Clitheroe. Clear gold with firm, lasting white head. Flowery, citrus hop aroma. Powerful floral and grapefruit flavours with a satisfying dry, bitter finish. Enough malt to counter the hoppiness and give a balanced palate. Excellent.
