Sep 15, 2006 Cask at Peterborough Beer Fest 2006. Clear golden-yellow with a small white head. Wild flowers, dry hay and straw, honey, lemon. Very mild bitterness. Very crisp and refreshing. I was both pleased and disappointed by this renowned beer. Not nearly as tasted as I was hopping but by the end of my pint I realized that this was probably the best one-size-fits-all light blond beer I had ever had. That still means something. This one is about mass consumption and both Jo Blo and the beer enthusiasts will find something satisfying in it. If they could mass market this they could turn the Gold into gold.

Jan 15, 2008 Cask @ Seven Stars, Holborn, London. Nose of hops, lemon, grapefruit and some sulphur. Pours an opaque lemon coloured beer with a light head. Mouthfeel is incredibly soft, taste is hoppy with a bitter grapefruit quality. Nicely balanced a great British beer.

May 14, 2007 Cask (Gallows Bird, Espoo, Real Ale Festival 2007).
Very floral sweet bitterness, excellent session bitter. Beautiful to me, but hard to pinpoint why.

Aug 7, 2006 Cask conditioned at GBBF Sat 5th August 2006. After having to queue for this I was impressed. Poured a golden colour, with a fruity aroma, initially I got a real citric burst on first taste. This beer had a nice bitterness and tasted really fresh and hoppy. Really enjoyed this but compared with Loz’s (my partner) Pictish Alchemist, I would still go for the latter.
