Lovely and understated, drank on cask, would benefit from being slightly cooler

Not as good as Butty Bach. Drinkable, but lacks flavor.

Cask. Clear light amber with a thin wispy head.
Balanced aroma of citrus hops and malt which leads nicely into the flavour. The sweet malt provides a counterpoint to the hops.
Lively cask feel. Light to medium body.
Rather nice.

On draught at The West Arms in Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog.
Pours clear, very pale yellow, with a thin soapy head that leaves sheets of lacing.
Nose is clean but very light.
Subtle flavours of lemongrass, straw and parsley. A mildly bitter finish.
Light body but a soft, smooth as velvet mouthfeel. No carbonation.
An easy drinking, very refreshing summer ale. Highly sessionable.

Watery mouth feel which leads to a dry back on the mouth when swallowing due to bitterness. Big hop flavour with cat pee type aromatic kick and a fair degree of bitterness. Dry with little sweetness. Very citrus especially grapefruit.

500ml, bottle-conditioned. Pours light gold with minimal head. No aroma on nose. Taste: very light floral hop, perhaps elderflower. Good balance of dryness and sweetness. Low bitterness. Light body. overall: pleasant gently flavoured, lightly-hopped beer.

Served on cask in a pub in Cardiff. A very reasonably priced pint served with a very reasonably priced meal at lunchtime.
Pours a pale yellow colour with an unimpressively small head.
Smells slightly better, slightly citrusy and hoppy.
Tastes good, citrus hops in a very toned down way that leaves you wanting more, rather than grimacing, as some hopped up beers can. Balanced well with mild and slight malts but overall a very refreshing and lip-smacking taste.
Overall a fantastic quaffable ale, great as a session and just lovely really.
