Dec 15, 2007 Bottle. Pale gold with a decent white head. Intense aroma of grapefruit, pine, grass and buttery malt. Flavour had some sweet malt, spice and a very hoppy finish, with citrus more pine and a slightly earthy finish. Excellent.

Aug 31, 2007 On tap in the ’Freshfield’ not far from Southport, 5.2%, are you sure??...pours a very pale golden colour, almost lager like in appearance. Serious lemon citrus aroma, hoppy and light but strangely complex at the same time, hoppy and flowery too. Went down a treat

Jul 1, 2007 Bottle. Gold, lightly carbonated, almost headless. Aroma musty, sweet and fruity.
Flavour better than expected from aroma - tasty citrussy hops (Amarillo?), fruity, soft sweet malt, juicy. Smooth full mouthfeel, hoppy finish. Lacking only a little more carbonation for my taste, but definitely worth trying again.
