When i knew this was on the rack for the beer fest we are having this weekend i knew that it was going to be the first rate, wanting to see what all the hype was about. Although i had a pretty busy night on the old barbeque i did manage to squeeze this one in, it had to be done! Worth the wait as well! A golden coloured beer with a slightly green tint, hazy with a weak white head. A strong citrusy hop nose of grapefruits and lemons, then a sweetish malty aroma. A dry, hoppy taste of citrusy grapefruits and lemons, then there is a biscuity malt flavour to balance in the finish. (Cask - @ The Fox & Hounds Summer Beer Festival 2006, Heacham, Norfolk).

Cask conditioned at The Three Judges, Glasgow. Golden colour, low head. Very nice floral and citrussy aroma. Distinctly hoppy flavour with notes of tropical fruits / citrus, but not too bitter. An excellent beer!

Cask (Wenlock): Gold clear with a white head. Nice lace too. Big hoppy grassy aroma. Medium refreshing body. Clean malty start with a long grapefruit citric hop finish. Quite grassy but never over the top. Tastes so fresh. Great stuff.

Yes, I liked this as well. Sampled at the Bartons Arms in Birmingham. Even without an injured shoulder i was able to appreciate its quality.

On Cask. Kick Ass Beer! Refreshing, nice full body and palate. Great fruit flavours and a fantastic hoppy dryness. Think this beer is dry hopped and it certainly benefits from that. nice residual balanced sweetness in the finish that keeps you coming back for more!
