Cask conditioned @ Standing Order(JDW), Soton. Excellent citric hops with unobtrusive malts. Dry with lots of hop flavour and bitterness leaving the teeth feeling squeaky clean with a lip-smacking tangyness.

A pale golden coloured beer with a weak white head.A citrusy hop aroma of lemons and peaches. The taste is dry, hoppy with the strong citrus fruit element, particularly of peaches, and a touch of lemon. The finish is dry. (Cask @ The Fox & Hounds Easter Beer Festival, Heacham, Norfolk).

Sweaty, floral, lavender hop nose. Clear blonde body is topped with a large and lasting white head that coats the glass. Fairly fruity flavour with floral, lavender hop tones, and clean, pleasant supporting malt profile. Decent finishing bitterness. Medium-light body with fair carbonation. Sampled at GBBF 2005.

Cask at Oakham Brewery Tap, Peterborough. One of my favourite all time beers. It is like the JHB with all of the citric hoppiness and tangerine/grapefruit, but there is more body and structure to this beer that makes this stunning. A really good beer
