Cask at Ascot Festival 2010. Pours a good amber colour with no real head. The aroma is hoppy with lots of citrus. The flavour is very fruity with some bitterness on the finish.

Cask conditioned at The Turf Tavern, Oxford. Clouded gold with slight head. Dryish hoppy beer with a bittersweet flavour. Some dry tea flavours in the body with a thin perfumed note. Pretty reasonable though.

Cask gravity at Oxford Beer Festival, 15-10-09 Pours amber with little or no head. There is a definate hoppiness coming through to start things off. This is a nice session beer that is tasty and uncomplicated. I find that it’s a touch soapy and would have scored a little higher if it wasn’t for the fact that it was marred by a slight chemically taint in the back of the mouth, otherwise until that point was enjoyable.
