Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Earthy hoppy aroma. Big bitter bite with citrus notes and a smooth finish.

Sampled from a small keg at the Real Ale festival in Bel Air. Aroma was fairly thin but a bit hoppy. The flavor was watery but not terrible. Had a lot of potential. I might want to try this again on tap.

on hand pump-pours a retaining rich white head that laces and slightly hazy gold color. Aroma is grainy/light malt-earthy/slight caramel, slight lemon. Taste is light side of medium body, grainy/light malt-earthy/slight caramel, lemon-hops. Minimum carbonation.

The pour was light copper, leaning towards tan with a thick white head that sat atop the brew and produced good lacing. The aroma was herbal, floral and tea leaves. Light, biscuity sweetness and faint citrus. The flavor followed suit. The mouthfeel was nice and the finish clean. A nice little session style beer that doesn’t get in the way.

On-tap at the downtown brewpub, enjoyed with Todd1. A bit cheesy aroma. Grapefruit colour with a lot of white head. Clean taste, British bitterness and it is significant. Medium mouthfeel.Smooth drinker, with understated carbonation, and served at appropriate temperature despite the heat of the outside.
