Commercial Description:
Cask & Bottle conditioned, Regular;
Tasting Notes A refreshing contemporary cask conditioned golden ale full of citrus taste and aroma. This ale is brewed using a single pale ale malt giving at a lovely golden colour. Citrus flavoured hops are used during the boil to produce an intense fruity flavour which is often enjoyed as an alternative to lager, especially if drinking it chilled from the bottle. Why Choose this Beer This beer won Champion Ale at the 2006 Leeds CAMRA beer festival and has consistently been regarded as one of the best beers at subsequent festivals across the UK. This ale has a real customer following.

Bottled@Fonefan (as Extravaganza Ale). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is lots of shepherd neame like earthyness, hoppy, yeasty and mildly fruity. Flavour is fruits, earth and some mild woodenness.

Bottle, bought @ YNWA, Kolding.
Pours clear golden with a small, film head. Very nice, hoppy aroma. Some pine and grassiness - a bit of flowers as well. Fine mouthfeel. Flavour has a lots of crisp hoppiness, good definte dryness. Very nice beer.

Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 08. Gold, lasting off white head. Now this was good. Another cracker from Wales. Sherberty aroma. Hoppy. The hops are excellent. Little thin in body maybe, but the sherbert hop is lively
