4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask Conditioned at Coventry Beer Festival. Pale Gold with white head. This was the beer of the Festival for me. A tremendous hop delivery an a light crisp, maybe slightly bready, yeasty base. But the thing here is hops and lots of them. Long long dry hoppy finish, I could drink plenty of this.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 2006, Ramsgate. Golden with creamy white head. Hops and some cereal on the aroma. Bit of wheat maybe (looking at the description I can see why) Some good citrus on the end and a hoppy finish to this good summer beer.

Cask Conditioned @ CAMRA National Winter Ales Festival, New Century Hall, Manchester. More on the pale side than golden. Looked and to an extent tasted like a premium continental lager. Hops very much to the forefront, followed by a citrus and bitter finish. A good example of its type.
