chris_o (4405), London, Greater London, England Feb 17, 2008 Cask (handpump) at the Rook & Gaskill, York, October 2006. Light amber colour with a generous ration of citric hop. Crisp, dry mouthfeel. Not very Autumnal but a decent quaffing bitter.
leaparsons (3878), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Nov 20, 2007 Cask, The Last Plantagenet, Leicester. Golden with a dense cream head. Aromas are grapefruit and lots of hops. Crisp with green pine. Flavours are bitter, dry hops with citrus. Woody and dry with a long bitter grapefruit finish. Very good. maeib (3917), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Dec 2, 2006 Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton. An amber, flat looking beer. The aroma is thin and watery and has apply fruit skin notes. The taste is more of the same. Disappointing but probably past its best. DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Nov 13, 2005 Updated: Mar 4, 2006Cask Handpump at the Union Rooms, Newcastle (JDW) 31/10/2005.
Amber coloured ale with plenty of hoppiness and citrus notes with a creamy and floral slightly dry finish. imdownthepub (3995), Banbury, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England Oct 1, 2004 Cask Conditioned at The Stags Head, Swalcliffe, Oxon. Brown copper beer with a foamy dull head. Easy drinking light, smooth beer at a middling ABV. A little perfumy on the nose, the hops have to be searched for, but maybe this was because of the sparkler being used.
