Cask at The Monks’ Retreat (JDW), Reading. Golden with a white head; crisp and refreshing with a grapefruit flavour and some honey; a refreshing bitter aftertaste with more grapefruit. Excellent.

Cask (gravity dispense), Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. Attractive bright orange colour - a bit dark for a golden ale. Otherwise, its crisp, fresh and fruity, with plenty of zesty hop character. Rather more aromatic than I expected from Challenger hops. Very pleasant.

Cask Handpump at the Penny Black, Northwich (JDW) 05/06/2006 Slightly floral aroma. Golden coloured and hoppy with some banana fruit flavour. Some dryness and creaminess in a bitter lasting finish.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Reading BF. A peach/ornage coloured beer. The aroma has good hops with orange flavours. The taste is also nice orange fruit hops. A decent drink.

Cask Conditioned at Reading BF. Amber coloured. Juicy and fruity aroma. Hoppy and bitter well balanced by a good malt character. Another really good beer from the brewery.
