Malt and hop aromas. Golden coloured hoppy and slightly fruity with some bitterness in a crisp and dry malt finish.

Jul 30, 2007 Handpump at The Plough, Greetham, Rutland. Excellent condition. Pale amber with white head. I am not too keen on some pale bitters but this was well balanced with a clean hoppy finish with some citrus notes.

Oct 9, 2005 Updated: Sep 23, 2007Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Bedford BF. An orange coloured beer quite bright and looking like irn bru. The aroma has lovely US hops, with tangerines and oranges. The taste has more good hoppiness with citrus orange fruits. Very tasty and easy to drink. (7,4,8,3,14(3.6))
Re-rate
Tried again on handpump. This time it was very ordinary. Merely a hint of hop, and alittle sulphur note in the nose. Certainly no sign of any US hops. Very ordinary. I wonder why? (5,3,5,3,10(2.6))
Score is an average of the two

Oct 9, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense). Beer #8 at Bedford Beer Festival 2005. Copper/gold colour. Flowery aroma with a touch of sulphur. Clean and fresh, juicy but quite dry, with a good hit of bitterness on the finish. An excellent quaffing ale, served in tip top condition.
