COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - Summer.
Colour: Dark gold. Summertime blonde beer which uses lager, malt and organic Perle Hallertau hops. On the nose there's an emphatic citrussy and lemon character with grainy malt lingering in the background. On the palette there's a whisper of grainy malt followed by more citrus (lemon and lime) before the dry finish with developing bitterness and an undertone of citrus fruit. An exceedingly well-balanced blend of malty and hoppy flavours to which you will want to keep returning.

First pull from cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen London. Nose is similar to sour banana yogurt: definitely lactic. Light amber color with a pencil-line of bright white head. Balanced mouthfeel, washes evenly across palate with mild banana esters. This beer could be summer up with one word: "tangy". ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Beersiveknown (1617) - NORTHERN IRELAND - NOV 25, 2012
Cask at the junction, Southampton
light amber brown with fruity yeast nose. Sweet toffee caramalt and shortbread pale malt. Lacking the hop bitterness/aroma to balance. Dull

tombyars (1204) - Saltcoats, SCOTLAND - FEB 12, 2012
Tasted this in The Last Post, Paisley (JDW) in November 2010. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale orange amber in colour with a thin white head. Slight hint of lemon grass present in the short aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a tart grapefruit peel flavour. Dusty bitter hops give a dry resiny aftertaste which is long in intensity. Finish is very sharp with citric grapefruit notes present. An ok session bitter but nothing exceptional.

harrisoni (10911) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - DEC 6, 2010
Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Copper colour, lasting beige head. It’s a fruity full bitter with some fruit salad and some hop bite on finish. It could be good but not sure this is quite right. It’s good, but I can’t tell you why.

Oakes (10941) - Savusavu, FIJI ISLANDS - SEP 28, 2010
@ Griffin, Frome. Light amber colour. Earthy, mushroomy aroma. Earthy palate with some berryish hop notes, balanced by slightly sweet, slightly nutty malts (probably a heritage variety). Excellent.

Svesse (5197) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - SEP 19, 2010
(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 6 Aug 2010) Amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of orange and apricots. Fruity, malty taste with orange, apricots, marmalade and slightly earthy hops in the finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Quite nice, without getting overly exciting.

Fantastc ale. Powerful country aroma. Nice hoppy backlash. The body is a tad thin. I could drink this - when its on form - until the cows come home.

Beershine (5173) - The Sunshine State, Florida, USA - SEP 10, 2010
Cask @ The Griffin, Frome. Amber and glassy with thin head and scattered lacing. Wet hop flower aroma is nice in the hop department but a bit dirty smelling. Mild soft palate is a bit tacky. Socky flavors that match the off aromas. Has a sweet malt backbone that redeems and there is a good bitter in here.
