(bottle) Clear golden, small white head. Bittersweet citric aroma. Well-balanced flavour of sweet fruit and citric hops. Soft mouthfeel. Hoppy finish. I have to re-rate this one....

(On tap) Pale golden and hazy, no head. Incredibly light body, only a week hint of malt. Citrusy, sourish nose with pronounced sour flavours - almost vinegary. I thought this cask might be infected, but I can see from the other ratings that this is presumably, how it’s supposed to be. Just not for me. 050805

Cask at Head of Steam, London Had this before and don’t really remember it being like this. Golden, with lemony citrus hops and a hoppy finish which was clouded by something else. Bit odd

Gold with a white head. Mildly fruity flavour. Light citrus refreshing summer style ale. Very hoppy, and medium bodied. Nice stuff.

Sampled gravity at the Banbury Beer Festival. Flat yellow, no head. Strong medicinal flavour, some glue and strong malt finish. Some strength and dryness. Not as outstanding as expected, but Maeib suggested that this is a beer that works better when handpumped, so l’ll have to give it another go in the future.

Cask, the Cockney pub, Aarhus. Kelham : Golden with beautiful dense head. Fruity and hoppy - with a lemony/grapefruity quality, pleasent bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel. Highly drinkable.... Ridleys: (Pale island): more sour, not as delicately hopped. 3.0
