Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Introduced in 2004 as a summer seasonal in East Anglia and London; became from Feb, 2006 a regular beer.
A golden bitter suffused with the aromas of a grapefruit grove. The massive citrus attack will burst on your palate allowing all the flavours of the imported New World hops to deliver their fruity bitterness. Adnams is “Exploring” new ground by sourcing interesting new hops from the USA that add different characters to the beer. By using the hops, not only in the copper but also in the cask, the drinker enjoys a mix of the traditional brewing quality that has become synonymous with the Adnams name, but also the contemporary flavours of the New World.
Ingredients: Pale malt. Columbus and Chinook hops; Columbus in the copper and Chinook in the cask

Cask, Loughborough Fest 06. Golden and orange with no head. Aromas are caramel malts, grapefruit, spices and hints of nuttiness. Flavours are fruity, sweet lemon and grapefruit with caramel base malts and traces of saltiness. Dry and bitter on the finish. Strangely, I preferred the bottled version. Still, this is decent.

Pint pulled at The Spencers Arms in Putney (London), a clear straw yellow with a frothy head. A spicy grass hop aroma with citrus undertones. Citrus notes and apple in the flavour, with a tartness and bitterness in the mouthfeel. Enjoyable.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Lightly hazy yellow. Citric, flowery nose. Dryish with soft, rounded mouthfeel, but some malt sweetenss coming through. Lightly resiny finish with medium bitterness. A refeshing pint.

Cask Conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury.
Pale gold colour with bubbly white head. Another move at converting the lagerboy crowd, but this one is much better than most. Heaps of citric flavours going on, I agree with lemon and grapefruit with a subtle but filling malt. Hoppy bitterness towards the end, this is a good satsfying beer which may miss its target audience. Good beer.
