Cask Conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival Fri 21-04-06. You have stolen my thunder Glenn, for me the beer of the festival was a straight fight between this and Bazans Flatbac but this gets the nod. I was’nt particularly expecting anything of this I had gone for another beer which had run out, so I made I jabbed my finger at the nearest cask and thank heavens I did. it was simply stunning and when I took it back the other three members of my group all made it their next beer, it soon ran out! A light golden beer, citrusy, hoppy, I really liked the hoppy taste which was extremely well balanced with a lovely just right sweetness and lovely everlasting finish, kept superbly by the Banbury Beer Festival organisers as were all the beers, all that I had were in tip top condition. I am often a bit stingy with my marks, but after 270 + ratings this is the new king!!

Jul 16, 2008 Handpulled cask at the Southern Cross, Watford in Dec 07. Light gold with a thick white lacy head. Aromas are lemon, kiwi and apricot with fresh clean hops. Sweet and fruity. Flavours are equally fruity with juicyl malts and fruity resinous hops. A superb beer by any standards.

Low carbonation, but nice on the palate. Hoppy flavour with good dry bitter with tones of pine, grass and light citric.

Sep 30, 2007 A large white foam covers the clear light golden body. A well-balanced, surprisingly sweet ale with almost biscuity malt overtones toppered by generous, blasting and stylish floral, citrusy hops that cuts through the sweetness and procure a fair dry bitterness.
