Feb 3, 2007 Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2007. Peachy aroma. Lasting thin white head. Really lovely fruit, white stone fruit flavour with then balanced hop finish. Lovely balanced beer between aroma, palate and finish and between hop and malt. Some juicy malt. Good pepper hop finish. Very dry. Some citrus and a bit of grapefruit.

Dec 8, 2006 Cask at The Monks’ Retreat, Reading.
A crystal clear pale gold colour with a white head; sweetish aroma with hints of orange; very fruity and chewy in the mouth with a sweet jammy consistency leading to a subtle bitter citrus aftertaste. A bit like drinking a bitter orange marmalade. Excellent.
