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.

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.

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.

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.
