Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - September.
Radiant, shimmering yellow. Citric and fruity with a soft fragrant maltiness. Dry initial taste followed by a rounded malty character and a bittersweet finish. A pint to savour as you enjoy the late summer sunshine.

It’s yellow and its mellow. As others have remarked, this beer is packed with citric hop character. One dimensional it may be, but it’s still a very nice drop. Clean, fresh and thirst quenching. Cask (handpump), Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), Whitehall, London SW1.

Cask at the Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough. Nice golden colour with tight white head. Aroma has some citrus elements. Flavour is sweet, citrus, hoppy with peach/melon in there as well. Medium bodied, with a long sweet aftertaste. Pretty good.

Cask Conditioned at The Turf Tavern, Oxford. A pale yellow gold colour with decent head. A flavoursome Pale Ale with a citric character, almost fresh lemonade flavour with heavy sugary feel. Not too much on the hop finish though.
