Aroma is citrus and grassy and peachy and a bit of pale malts giving it a wee kick of sweetness. Taste is similarly complex hoppy, bitter and dry as hell, totally outstanding beer and no suprise to me at all that its in top beer in britian at the moment. REATE: Cask in Blackfriars: Awsome super drinkable, just amazing stuff. Iv never drank 6 1/2 pints as quick as what i did this. RERATE: Well iv had soo much and its just one of the best most drinkable beers ion the world. up from 4.6-5.

Pours a rich golden yelow with moderate head. Scents of hops and citric fruits. Flavor is of grapefruit and strong hops. What a treat. Very easy drinking beer with a fantastic taste. Could do for a session. A

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden yellow, bubbly white head. Solid fruity hops aroma. Flavour is sweet and fruity. Light peachy accent from the hops. Quite smooth and easy. Smooth fruity and ligh bitterness in the finish. Nice one.

Hoppy in aroma, hoppy, balanced and refreshing in taste like so many of these beers are. Absolutely nothing offensive about it at all, each pint I’ve ever had has been entirely drinkable and pleasing. I can’t seem to find anything about it that is outstanding in anyway. It’s all there, but just turning up to a final shouldn’t guarantee greatness. Some nice fruit flavours, it’s clean, it’s bright and it’s drinkable - I guess in a way I’ve answered my own question. Are these not fairly often the CAMRA guidelines for Champion Beer of Any Festival?

Tasting notes from 2003 Banbury beer festival. An excellent golden ale and what a treat. Golden, clear with white head. Citrus, caramel, and fresh floral aroma notes. Citrus (Grapefruit) and balancing caramel notes. Refreshing bitter finish that invites you to continue the session.
