Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 16/8/07. Deep gold colour with a slight, white head. Aroma of hay and grassy hops. Flavour started slightly sweet before a bitter finish. A slightly darker and stronger version of Crop Circle. Ok.

Cask conditioned @ Hobgoblin, Reading. Pale colour. Hoppy nose mild resiny citrus and herbal aromas. Building resiny bitterness offset by full bodied malt sweetness. Pretty good.

(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 7 Aug 2007) Golden yellow colour with brief white head. Fruity nose with notes of lemon, apricots and grassy hops. Fruity taste with lemon and grassy, citrussy hops in a bitter-sweet finish. Slightly, but not overly sweet. Summery with a nice grassy hop character.
