Cask at The Cask And Barrel. Golden with a white head. Nice level of hops. Citric. Grapefruit specifically. Quite a lingering bitterness. Decent.

Half, cask hand-pulled at Blackfriars. Fragile bubbles at the surface. Crystal clear golden body. Fresh citrus hops to the nose. Good hoppy taste of citrus and tropical fruits leading to a semi-dry bitter ending. A very refreshing, session ale (Glasgow, 13.04.2012).

Cask at Cloisters. Slightly pale orange amber, thick creamy white head leaves lots of lacing. Nice slightly pissy, gooseberry, apricot fruity nose. Slightly sweet apricotty juicy front, nice dry bready malt backbone. Lovely soft bitter finish. This is very good.
