Bottled. Shovels of hops here; liquid lemon, dark amber body, began by thinking it was a little too hopped and tart but it settled to a surprisingly good crunchy beer. Keeps on tingling. More like alkie lemonade but I ain’t complaining.

(Cask at The Wharf, Aalborg) - Light amber colour, the taste is dominated by zingy, dry perfumy citrus flavours, could use some more body, but the general impression is good.

Cask at The Ship, Sandgate, Kent
Amber colour, aroma of cinnamon and floral hops, lots of citric lemon flavours in mouth with hoppy lemony finish. The fruit I though was a little artificial and there is not enough about the rest of the beer to balance it.

Hand pulled at the Corner House, Birmingham. Brown beer, with a head that disappeared fairly swiftly. Labelled as containing citrus notes, and for once I agree - there is lime and orange in them thar’ hills. However it’s not generally packed with taste, and it’s rather thin in the mouth. Slightly grainy with a boring finish. Easy drinking, but that not a compliment in this instance.

Cask, Swan and Rushes, Leicester. Amber with a small white head. Aromas are sweet toffee malts with very fresh floral hops. Flavours are sweet caramel and toffee malts with fruit, especially citrus. Very floral in its hopping. Its like being outside. Pretty decent.
