Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
A delicious light ale with an aroma of crisp citrus lemon. Perfectly balanced sweetness with delicate bitterness to finish. An exceptional pale ale that leaves you wanting another.

Benjii (2410) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - AUG 3, 2011
On cask at Cloisters. A golden ale with a decent white head. Aroma of lemon and elderflower, quite musty with some hay notes. Flavours of lemon and honey again with puffed wheat. A little thin and mildly bitter. Not great.

Finn (2626) - Tromsø, NORWAY - NOV 1, 2010
Cask på Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield 1 Okt 10. Lys gylden. Veldig lavt skum. God fruktig aroma. 0 kullsyre. 0 bitterhet. Smaken svakt muglet (positivt ment). Litt kjedelig.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - MAY 4, 2009
Cask gravity at Reading BF 09. Gold, very carbonated by the looks of it, thin white head. Eeech, that’s not a good start. Bit of biscuit malt. Not good, odd buttery flavour

Fin (5749) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 17, 2008
Cask gravity at Oxford Beer Festival 16-10-08 Very pleasant golden ale that would make quite a nice session ale. There were nice lemony touches to this, but it was simple and well done, not as crisp or as bitter as I expected but refreshing and moreish, a good beer that you didn’t really have to think about.
