Commercial Description:
Cask; Special - Late summer 2005
Ingredients: Cara malt; Wheat; Fuggles and Goldings hops.
Ohh she's goner get you! A slice of wheat helps give this golden-coloured brew a rich, delicate sweetness. Don't be fooled, she follows up with a hammer blow of Goldings hops giving a soaring bitterness and aroma that satisfy all your desires.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy pale orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, while the flavor contains notes of honey and metal - I wonder if it is from the axe? The end is a boring dry bitter one.

Cask conditioned, GBBF 2005: Quite boring and watery. Some fruit notes in the nose. Bitter finish. Slightly dry.

Cask (handpump) at GBBF, August 2005. Amber colour, with a fair sized head. Fruity aroma, with hints of apple, followed by a good dose of earthy and dusty English hops, adding up to a decent, if unspectacular, best bitter in a fairly traditional style.

Strong fruitiness to the aroma with some herbal, floral and earthy hop tones. Clear amber-gold body is topped by decent off-white head that recedes to cover. Caramel malt sweetness is joined by floral hops with moderate finishing bitterness. Medium-light body with decent carbonation. Enjoyable if unexciting. Cask at GBBF 2005.
