Cask handpull, The Crown, Nuneaton. Dusty gold with a fine white layer. Decent jammy apricot scattered with pine needles aroma. Grassy and dry; good clean biscuity malts, pine and TCP. Lean, discreetly fruity and pretty good all round.

Bottle. Yellow and slightly cloudy.Hoppy with lots of fruitiness as well. Very drinkable and a pleasant surprise.

500ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a small head. Aroma is grass, floral, a bit gassy and some egg. Sweetish start. Some honey and grass in the finish. Would be good in the summer.

This was the cascades dry hopped version available at the Anchor in Birmingham. Deep gold in colour with a decent white head. Citrus fruit, sweet malts and a hint of spice amongst the bitter finish. Ok.

Cask Conditioned Handpump Wellington Birmingham. A golden beer with a whitish head. There is a little sweet fruit in the nose and taste together with a tiny touch of berry sweetness. Lightly hopped. Passable.
