Pale golden. Small white head. Light citric aroma. Hoppy sharpness in flavour with a good touch of juicy fruit (lemon and orange). Moderate bitter finish (Halt pint on gravity served a bit too cold at The Fat Cat, Norwich 25.09.2006).

Bright gold with a white head. Aroma began with a floral burst, giving way to malt. The taste was sweet and fruity with a good hoppy finish. Pretty good.

An interesting & unusual find on the beer shelves of VW,Kelso. Lovely gold/straw in colour with a reasonable white head. A mouthwatering hoppy nose has a slightly sweet malt which appears as it opens up. Lighter on the palate than expected but well flavoured, good balance & a good long finish. Fresh citrussy hops are to the fore, and again the soft sweetish malt creeps in at the end. A fine brew,not as complex as i thought it would be (or as the label suggested), not bottle conditioned!

A straw yellow coloured beer with little head but some effervescence. A distinctly fruity nose with a hint of floral hop and a slight sweetness towards the end. The taste is smooth and mellow, fruity hops with an underlying sweetness. The finish is light, smooth and fruity. (Draught - @ the Norwich Beer Festival 2004).
