Cask, handpump at The Lamb & Flag, Oxford 11.12.10 Pours golden in colour, with a nice spritzy white head, looks lovely. Some honey leaving plenty of sweetness a little bit of a citrus bite, with some soapy hops at the end. A6 A5 T7 P3 Ov13 3.4

Cask handpull, The Pub, Leicester. Straw with a loose sudsy halo. Pale biscuity malt and faint overripe satsuma aroma. Juicy lemon curd on crackers character with soap, flowers and a cashew linger. Clean and honeyed, just lacking a bit of hop bite.

A mid to light amber gold colour with a weak white head. Light hoppy aroma, slight syrupy maltiness towards the end. The taste is dry, hoppy and slightly tinny to begin with, then there is a smooth malty flavour in the finish. (Cask - @ The Fox & Hounds Summer Beer Festival 2006, Heacham, Norfolk.
