My wifes favourite beer and object of irritation that it’s unavailable in NZ! Pours a lovely golden colour with a fruity nose, i get a bit of soap on the nose but she disagrees. Sweet malt flavours abound on the palate with late bitterness that balances it out in the finish.

Cask. At The Princes Head, Richmond. Yawn. Gold, small head, somewhat hoppy, mostly just a little thin and sweet - thickish body, slightly quick-fnishing.

Cask at Doric Arch. Very pale golden beer with a fine-grained white head. Completely clear. The aroma is lightly wheaty with a hint of citrus and spice (good) along with some soapy woodiness (bad). Very thin, watery palate. It’s got a bit of wheaty flavour, but it really needs to ramp up the hops to keep things interesting. Quite bland and uninspired.

Full pint served moderately chilled at The Blackbird pub in Earls Court, London. Clear amber body. No head. Floral-fruity aroma. Light flavour notes of apricot. Vague bitter finish. Diluted palate (04.08.2008)

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a small off-white head. Mild peachy hops aroma. Light tea like initial flavour with a mild peachy hops note. Vague apple note too. Light sweet accompanying the hops flavour. Lasting refreshing fruity flavour into the finish.
