Cask; Seasonal.
Outstanding hoppy beer using Pilgrim and Styrian Goldings for full-flavoured satisfaction. Good body and luscious aroma. Inspired by the statues of water nymphs in York House gardens in Twickenham, known locally as the "Naked Ladies".

Cask. Pours golden orange with a thin head. Nice grassy/floral hoppy aroma with some lighter crackery malt notes. The flavor is well balanced, with some flowery, lightly citric hops, crackery malts, and a moderately bitter finish.

Alphadelic (1630) - Portland, Oregon, USA - DEC 2, 2009
On cask at realale.com: Great looking. A zingy orange with twists and turns of light head. The nose is lightly barnyard with hints of satsuma and a light eggyness. A lovely round bitterness explodes into the mouth. Plenty of roasty, toasty light malts full of caramel vigour are lifted and thrown around by the bustling hoppiness. The palate is lightly oily with hints of carbonation. It is a darned tasty beer with a long nutty finish.

ladnewton (1147) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - SEP 24, 2010
Draught at London Brewers’ Alliance Showcase event on 17th Sept 2010. Slightly hazy gold with a lasting white head. Lovely grapefruit hops and grassiness with some cheesy notes, rather like a US IPA yet only 4.4%. Bitter, hoppy finish, and a textured mouthfeel. A good pint.

jackl (2596) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 17, 2013
Cask @ The Duke Of Clarence. Medium gold, small frothy head. Pretty faint in the nose. Some hints of brioche, white grape, taffy, caramel. The taste is moderately floral. Hints of grassy hops, wild herb. A bit of white grape and summery apricot spread. Light citrus. Light body, soft carbonation. Overall, a pretty agreeable beer. Nice.

BeerViking (1430) - Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, GERMANY - JAN 22, 2011
Pours a honey gold with a big white head (thanks to the pub’s excessive use of sparklers), aroma is honeyed and citrus hops, flavour is full and fruity, yet crisp and dry. Lovely balance.

Leighton (6973) - London, ENGLAND - SEP 20, 2010
Cask at London Brewers Showcase. Pours clear honey with a foam head. Bread, fruit and nuts hold the aroma. Flavor is fairly sweet with a nice, bready malt character. Light to medium in body. Well balanced with a clean finish and light hops notes. Good sessioner.

Aroma is quite light with some fruity hops. Flavour is rather hoppy with fruits, apricot, some resin and gooseberry bush. Hoppy and nice!

Ethereal (2399) - Los Angeles, California, USA - MAR 2, 2008
Gravity cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 6th Feb 2008. A very light amber ale, almost golden. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Tastes hoppy but there is good balance and it’s not too fierce. A smooth mouthfeel make it highly drinkable.
