COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Very pale and spectacularly thirst-quenching. Three different hops give this beer a delightful citrus nose.

imdownthepub (8492) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 3, 2012
Cask conditioned at The Crown (Nicholson’s), Oxford. Pale gold with white head. This seems to be all about hop delivery and it seemed to me to do it well, citrusy, grapefruit, lemon, quite sharp and refreshing all on a light biscuity body. Very pleasant.
