(Cask at GBBF, London Earl’s Court, 5 Aug 2009) Golden colour with foamy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of peaches, citrus and honey. Malty, fruity taste with dried fruit, biscuits and honey. Below medium body, fairly sweet. Some lemony, floral hops in the finish. Clean and refreshing, hardly exciting.
