Dispensed on gravity at The Reading Beer and Cider Festival. Golden body with no head. Mild aroma of fresh hops. Citrus and light hops in flavour. Soft texture. Easy drinking session beer. Brewed to celebrate Hop Back’s 21st anniversary (shared with Finn, #1400, 02.05.2008)

Cask conditioned @ Guide Dog, Soton. Biscuity malts, grassy hops, slightly peppery reasonably bitter.

A Mes rate: Cask at the Marble Arch Inn.
Bright gold with a slight brown hue, a thin white head and lots of lace. Fruity and floral hops with some light medicinal notes. Probably a little too sweet and the medicinal note lingers in the finish.
