Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Hazed gold with no head. Sweet, honeyed and perfumey to me, quite flowery and apple like, possibly too young. Not very keen on this one.

11th September 2009
Cask at Chapel Beer Festival. Clear gold beer. Light hoppy nose. Palate is neutral to slightly dry. Light dry malt. Juicy hop fruits. Okay but somewhat let down by the tired malts.

Cask @Ascot Beer Festival 2009. Pours a dark golden colour with a thin white head. Real citrus aroma, with a spicy bitterness in the taste.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Gold with a thin cream head; weak grainy aroma; watery with a wheaty body; and a touch of bitterness to finish. Disappointing and forgetable - not Loddon’s finest.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 19 nov 2007) Amber colour with frothy white head. Fruity nose with orange, apricots and earthy hops. Fruity taste with notes of orange peel, grapefruit and a nice dose of earthy hops in the finish. Some malt sweetness lingers in the background throughout. Nice session beer with a distinct bitterness.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Pale brownish amber. Fruity nose with a fair amount of resiny hops. Dryish and medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. and vague notes of apples. Lingering resiny bitter finish. Quaffable bitter, but with a striking bitterness.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark golden with white creamy foam. Fruity and a bit metallic aroma of red apples, mandarin, candied pears, wet grass and fragile pale malts. Fruity but a bit thin flavour red apples, grass and resin. Short aftertaste of grass, apples, vegetables and metal.
