Cask at the Derby Summer Beer Festival 2009. For me this was the best of the night, though amongst some destictly average beers, that’s not saying much. The aroma is fresh with flowers and pine dominating. Lemon and floral flavours start with a long, long hoppy bitter finish. Very nice.

Guest cask at the Dartmouth Arms, London, England on 22nd June 2009. Pale amber coloured ale with small but lasting off-white shallow head that laces well. Herby hoppy aroma then intensely bitter kick which is enjoyed on a lively textured mouthfeel. Then a prolonged dry and very bitter finish. Excellent and worth seeking out. I have seen the beer in one other venue in the past 48 hours.

Cask, Kings Head, Carlisle. Must have been reintroduced. Really hoppy, fruity beer, with a sharp grapefruit tang. Chestnut brown colour, with a nice creamy thin head, due to sparkler. Bitterness lingers on the tongue and back of the throat and there’s quite a dryness. Good and refreshing, one to make you suck your cheeks in....!!

Cask Handpump at the Mill Hotel, Chester 17/04/2004 Golden coloured slightly rich and sweet on the palate with a fruit aroma. Some bitterness in a dry lasting finish.

Cask conditioned - no sparkler. Copper coloured beer with nice white head and citric aroma some lemon but mostly grapefruit. Very hoppy beer with biting grapefruit taste. Very tasty

Light amber in colour. Aromas are gooseberry, grain and sulphur. Flavours are fruity, floral and dry with sulphur saltiness. Not bad.

Darkish amber beer with a dry aroma and a lemony hopped flavour with a dry finish. Overall a reasonable well hopped beer.
