Jan 30, 2002 Sample cask conditioned. Golden coloured. The second thing I find unusual with this ale, after the name is the pineapple aroma. It is light bodied and sweet and to me it feels like wheat malt has been used. it finishes with rather low bitterness. Flavourwise this could actually be a very light version of a Belgian style tripel, but I’m not sure I’ll be a fan of that new style.

Jul 6, 2004 Cask@The Oakdale Arms, Harringdon, N.London. Only 3.6%ABV, but manages to cover the palate quite nicley. Caramelly/bready malts. earthy, salty, slightly aromatic hops. A bit too grainy, but it works, a nice avergage, cask bitter.

Sep 4, 2005 Gravity cask Ashford Rugby Club. Amber good hop nose, bit sherberty. Some orange and citrus. More orange citrus in mouth leads to a crisp finish

Jan 29, 2006 Cask (handpump) at The Anglers Retreat, Marsworth, Bucks. Pale gold colour. Flowery, aromatic nose. Big citrus rush on the palate - more lemon than grapefruit. Some apple notes. Fresh, crisp mouthfeel. Although nothing extraordinary, its a well made golden ale and certainly hit the spot really nicely at the end of a 20 mile walk.
