Cask conditioned - handpump - Wig & Pen, Northampton. A copper coloured beer with a white head and lacing. At first the aroma seems slightly muted but then there’s a decent dash of citrus hoppiness. The hops are there from the outset though in the mouth. Nice orangey notes. Maybe some US hops in the fresh tasty mouthfeel. A nice beer.

Half pint, cask at Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Dark orange coloured body without a head, but some lacing on the glass. Light hoppy aroma. Grapefruit in aroma followed by bitter malts. Crispy palate (Sunday afternoon, 16.03.2008).
