 EFC1878 (176), Manchester, Greater Manchester, England
Aug 25, 2008 Handpulled at The Friendship, Fallowfield, Manchester. Hazy gold colour with pure white lasting head. Mainly citrus/hop aroma with some sweet maltiness. Medium body with initial sweetness. Dry bitter finish. Fine summer beer.

Jul 14, 2008 Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End, Harrow. Perfect looking pull, gold with slowly clearing creamy white head, without the use of a sparkler. Good hoppy aroma. No strong flavours but a perfect blend of gentle sweet malt and subtle citric hops. Very well brewed and good enough for a second pint despite another scoop being available on the bar!

Oct 6, 2007 Cask, gravity, at Bedford Beer Festival ’07. Gold with a nettly hop aroma. Rather thin soapy-water taste. Low bitterness. Disappointing.
