Cask at the Everyman Bistro, Liverpool. This bitter (perhaps better described as a blond ale) is very flavourful for the ABV; it has a very nice hop bitterness with fruity notes.

Cask at Kingston BF, 28th June 2008, with renffisch. Light amber with a good floral aroma. Taste-wise, floral and citrus flavours dominate byt there is a late cheesy hint! Very refreshing.

<i> Cask at Abbotsford, Edinburgh. </i> Pale copper colour with low head. Fruity, floral aroma. Grapey hopflavour with soft maltiness and medium bitter. Lots of hops here.

Gravity at Reading Beer Festival 2 May 08. Golden colored. A soapy filmy head. Fruity aroma. Lacks a distinct flavor. Some sourish bitterness with hints of fruit in the aftertaste.
