3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
21st July 2010
Clear gold beer. Little white head. Light semi crisp palate. Lagerish malt with a subtle but odd smoky note. A little light orange and peach hops before the malt turns creamy. Crisp snappy minerally finish. It’s all right, refreshing and and crisp. Good session beer on a hot day.

Cask (handpump) at Great British Beer Festival, day 4 on 5 August 2011. Gold. Very pale. One of a huge number of dry, vaguely citric blondes at the festival. Easy drinking. Could do with more hop punch. Respectable but rather unremarkable.

Cask (GBBF2011, Friday)
Farty aroma, vegetal. Watery, thin, and dull. Little finish. Sulfury and minerally in the mouth. And nothing but sulfury hop in the finish. Dissapointed to say the least.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, golden beer with a white head. Citrus and peach on the nose, some sugary malts. Medium to thin body, pleasant carbonation. The flavor is a bit dull, but quite pleasant, with citrus and peaches on a backdrop of pale malts. A quite nice one, quenching and easy drinking, but also a bit boring. 110319
