Cask at Peterborough BF ’06. Gold with a white head. Aroma of hops followed by a grapey, citrus taste that made this one of the festival highlights for me. Late surge of bitterness completes an excellent package.

Gravity cask @ Reading Beer Festival 2006. Good hops - leafy floral aromas. Strong bitter flavours with citrus and light malts creeping in. Cleansing hop finish. This was nice but I wasnt overly impressed.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Reading BF. Another top beer from Crouch Vale. Golden as expected wih a great hoppy aroma which has orangey notes. The taste is again lovely and hoppy, a St Clements oranges and lemons taste, with great character and drinkability

Cask Conditioned at Reading BF 2006. Blonde. Floral hop aroma. Hoppy flavour, malty, citric and refreshing. Not their best beer but a solid ale for the style.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 06. Golden beer with bubbly white head. Flowery, grassy hop which belies the intensity in the mouth. Flowery/floral hop, underpinned by biscuit malt with intense hop finish. Really tingles the tongue. Good supping beer. So good I had to get another half.
