Cask, Interval cafe, Sheffield, UK. Pale gold, resin aroma. Sharp flavour, citrus hops and some sweetness. Impressive for abv I suppose.

Cask conditioned handpump Whitelocks Leeds 15/04/13. A blonde beer with a bright white head and lace. Lightly hoppy but a creamy sickly sweetness which I don’t like. The hops don’t shine like they should. Everyone seemed to be ordering this as they walked in. I wonder how many people had a second.

Koelschtrinker (8495) - Köln (Cologne), GERMANY - MAR 21, 2013
Spritzig herb hopfiger Antrunk. Süffig, deutlich bitterer werdend, was in den Gesamteindruck passt. Mild hopfiger Ausklang. Gut. 12/10/9/10//10

Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival in KEGS! Almost clear pale gold beer. Little white head. Light dry palate. Floral note and a light citrus. Light tangy peel finish, orange and grapefruit. Semi dry finish. Nice hops here but really needs more of them.

On cask at the Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival, 20/02/13. Pale gold. Weak aroma, but nice. Really nice pale malt. Lightly tropical. Cereally. Quaffable, good session beer.

On cask at Brambles in Holmfirth - very citric, a bit too bitter. Looked good, but let down in so many areas.

Cask. Yellow. White head, solid lacing. Grass, straw, earth, some bread, New Zealand hops present in the finish but not as much in the aroma.

Beersiveknown (1625) - NORTHERN IRELAND - JUN 12, 2012
Pale gold with gentle carbonation, a faintly earthy hop nose and plenty of pithy bitterness. Needs a bit more by way of aroma.

Cask by handpump at Four Marys, Linlithgow (25 May 12) - clear golden ale, thick creamy white head, sweet malt and fruity hop aroma, good temperature, sweet, fruity, well balanced, bit of citrus, smooth, refreshing

Very pale and very low in ABV. Surprisingly high in taste tho - packed with tropical fruit. Really good refreshing session beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
