"on tap at the Judge:
Tapped a lightly hazed straw colored ale in the pint glass....smallish white cap reduced to a surface lace quickly.
Light understated aromas of grain and citrus, toffee, some light mustiness
Light body, minimal malt spine, fluid mouth feel and a thin biscuity charater.
Up front you get a sweet toffee-biscuit decenment then the body goes weak and washes away to a clean finish where the hops show up to add light bittering.
A very thirst busting light summer ale, a tad thin in body but the biscuity malts carry the palate over that detraction.....a well made light summer ale that you can down by the pint."

"Sampled a pint off tap at Volo, seemed the perfect accompanyment to the uncharacteristically hot and humid spring day. Came under a thin layer of head, a sandy yellow in colour. Aroma crisp hoppy. Mouthfeel - perhaps understandably for a 3.5% - a tad heavy on the water. Flavour is there however. My only qualm with this one is that the hops used are very aggresive in style, but used lightly... which doesn't quite seem to work out. It seems it's suppose to be a very lightly hoped beer - but with these extremely aggresive hops (while weakened in their use) are still aggresive to the palette and flavour, which contradicts the beer. Overall however, I enjoyed it just fine.
