Beware, this beer can be deceptive, the alcohol content is more a suggestion than a rule and can vary wildly from cask to cask. Not a session beer unless you like to fall over!

On draught at the Swan in Rushes, Loughborough. A great pale ale. The color is a yellowy orange and it has a fine short lived head. Aroma is very hoppy. The flavor is sweet, hoppy and malty with orange in there somewhere. Drinks well below its gravity.

A light refreshing ale with a fabulous aroma. A truly citrus aftertatse with a good degree of bitterness make this an outstanding ale.

Cask at Devonshire Arms, Sheffield. Wow. Pale hazy yellow, full finger of creamy white head, hint of mint? Wonderful creamy, fruity, hoppy taste to it, good crunch at the end, long lasting yet gentle bitterness. I could stay put and drink this all day.

Cask Conditioned at Oxford Beer Festival ’04. Pale yellow beer with steady head. Hoppy sweetish premium bitter, nice oily aromatic flavours with plenty of fruity body. Deserving winner of CBOB. A very decent beer.

Hand pumped at 2004 GBBF.This beer has just won the CAMRA Champion Beer of Britain 2004, so highly suitable for my 100th rating. Pumped a clear pale straw with white head. Juicy malt, tart fresh fruit/floral aroma. The flavour is citrus fruit under-pinned with a hoppy bitterness. Crisp mouthfeel with long bitter finish. A refreshing, rich fruity beer & a worthy winner.
