Hand pulled at the Swan and Rushes, Leicester. Really delicious. APA flavour, rich, juicy hops - perfectly balanced, not too aggressive, but they hold right through. Soft, fluffy in the mouth. Refreshing.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London 21 Apr 2006) Colour is pale amber. Nose is fruity, hoppy with lovely lemon and grapefruit notes (as so often in Crouch Vale beers). Taste is fruity with lots of citrus and a nice bitter finish. Rather light body, but a very nice hop character.

Cask handpull at Magpie & Crown, Brentford. Golden. Rally lovely hop aroma, lovely fruit including grapefruit. Really good Crouch Vale beer. Lovely hop on end too. Some fruit and malt in it that have got real juiciness. Good beer

Cask. Flowery aroma, reminding me of elderflower. Dark copper colour. Nicely hoppy flavour. OK bitterness. Quite flat, even for a cask ale.

(Cask at The Wharf, Aalborg) - Fresh, spicy, hoppy flavour, with notes of elderflower, grapefruit and a wellbalanced peppery end to it, - good thirstqencher...

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with a light orange head. The aroma is lovely hoppy with hints of caramel and elderberryflowers. The flavor is sweet and flowery with the hops tickling the tongue and leading to a dry and very hoppy end. But the body is thin, which is a drawback in the total picture.
