Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
A classic India Pale Ale with a clean and crisp malt character, and flavoured with Brewer's Gold hops for a strong bitter taste, but a spicy resinous finish with a hint of citrus lemon.

(Cask at GBBF, London, 7 Aug 2008) Golden amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with orange, apricots and solid malt sweetness. Fruity taste with notes of orange, apricots, malt sweetness and earthy, citrussy hops in the finish. Nice hoppy beer with some alcohol bite.

Cask@GBBF2008. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is fruits, nectar and some mild buttery notes. Flavour is grass, hops, nectar and mild wood. Mouthdrying.

Cask at GBBF ’08. Thanks to Chris for sharing this. Gold. Buttery hop aroma. Sweet slightly grainy malt flavour with an entertaining digestive biscuit backtaste. Very nice. Even very acceptable.

Clear golden with tiny white head. Sweet fruity aroma with floral hops. Sweet flavor with caramel, fruits and hoppy notes. Ends bitter and fairly dry.
