On Cask in England. Light orange hue, with a strong hop nose similar to an American Pale. The flavor didn’t disappoint; it followed the nose in hop flavor. A slight astrigency in the end, but overall a good beer.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Six Bells Farnham. A light golden coloured beer with loads of citric hops in both the aroma and the taste. This is an excellent cask ale reminding me of good beers from Roosters brewery. If this had won silver at CBOB rather than the IPA I could have believed it.

Bottled. Amber, thin white and shortlasting head, moderate condition. Hop and fruit with slight skunkiness in the nose, good blend of hop and fruity malt in the mouth and a long dry lingering hop finish.

Another of the ubiquitous summer ales that everyone does these days. A well-made example, not as pale in colour as some, more a pale orangey colour. The usual fruity/flowery tones, but nicely bitter on the finish, giving it the refreshing character that was no doubt intended. Handpump, Greene King Brewery Tap, May 2003

I tasted this beer from a bottle. The expiry date was just expired. Nice amber color with no head. Nose – Hops and barley. Flavor – Nice balance, clearly hoppy, but also some malt and fruity and indeed citrus. Nice bitterness. Overall a very nice summer ale of Green King. You might taste that this beer is family of Green King IPA, I guess the use the same yeast for this beer. A good ale, surprisingly nice from the bottle.

Standard ale appearance with a strong English hopped aroma and a very bitter and very hopped flavour. Overall a basic English ale which has a very bitter taste, but OK.

A beutiful orange beer with a small head. The aroma is very faint but fresh with notes of fruit. The flavor is lovely dominated by fruityness. You taste the aroma hops more than you smell it. It is very flowery on the tongue and end on a fruity but insisting bitterness.

Light summery citrus and peach nose. Bronze hue with a fast disappating head. Largely hopped body, nice citrus tones and flowery finish. A decent summer ale.
