A very hard beer to rate, it’s almost perfectly balanced so nothing really stands out and yet it does it’s job so well. It’s fruity but with enough bitterness to balance it. It is a much better beer on cask that out of the bottle!

Oct 20, 2008 JDW @ Victoria Station. Poured a hazed amber with an off white head. Grassy, metallic hops and sweet malts in the nose. Taste is much the same, grassy with sweet biscuity malts and a honey note. Quite well balanced and quaffable.

Jul 22, 2008 Cask, Irish Pub next to St Andrews Hall Norwich. A pre wedding pint prior to Guy’s wedding. I fear that this wasn’t in the best condition as I was expecting a lot more from this. Came over as lacking any real body or character; watery and thin with a bland vaguely stale aroma. Will re rate at some point.
