Yellow colour. Thin white head. Smell of hops with a hint of citrus. More like a lager than a beer. Quite a bit of carbonation. Can taste some malt. Bitter.

Cask at the White Horse, Parsons Green, 21st April 2004 with tashi. Copper coloured with zero head. Smells of honey at first, but then a horrid ammonia scent appears as it warms. Tastes of very little - some light maltiness and some sort of hop. Never again.

Handpulled cask at JDW Stanmore. Gold with white creamy head. Very good body with sugary malts and fruit flavours. Some bitterness in the end, though could have done with more. Still very enjoyable fresh tasting pint. Only £1.09.

Bottle. Golden colour with a good offwhite head. Sweet and lemony aroma. Refreshing sourness together with sugary malts leading way to a slightly hoppy finish. Not bad.
