Cask at Blackfriars. Golden in colour with a small foamy head. Aroma of citrus hops, peachy and lychee notes. Flavour is clean hoppy grapefruit witha nice balance of fruity hops. Not too overpowering. Fresh and pleasant to session. Good work for a British beer but i would prefer something hoppier

Cask - Fat Cat, Norwich. Clear golden with a bubbly white head leaving a good lacing. Aroma profile is of citrus and a sweet floral tone. Flavours are moderately sweet and again plenty of citrus and floral notes combine to make a well-rounded thirst quencher on a crisp and clean body with light carbonation, though fairly soft. Refreshing and moreish.

(bottled .)Felt like I was drinking a Czech Pils..but with a Golden Ale heartbeat: Goes down like my gf when she’s horney..Dry and hoppy . Biscuty malt , like Bohemien Pils character. Oranges,lemon and citrusy stuff. . Classy.

[cask at GBBF 06] Aroma of sweet fruits, ’tropical’ i suppose, some citric notes also. light body, dry finish where a little bready malt comes through. A fine session beer.

Bottle (500ml). Shared with blankboy and tupalev, my bottle. Wan, mostly clear pale gold pour, virtually no head. Mild aroma, floral almost perfume hops, light sweet grain - soft. Taste is also floral, but pungently so, more bitterness in the finish, very light grain malt. Watery body, fairly still, solid astringency - long lightly bitter finish - excellent, if light.
