UPDATED: AUG 18, 2009 1. Cask Handpump at Thomas Rigby’s, Liverpool 30/08/2008 Some hop aroma. Tiny white head. Clear golden coloured with some grapefruit flavour. Hoppy and slightly strong. Crisp dry and bitter finish. 2. Cask Handpump at the Crown Inn, Stockport 20/09/2008 Hop and malt aromas. Clear golden coloured floral and hoppy with a crisp and slightly dry malt finish.

Cask, Out of the Vaults, Leicester. Hazy gold with a white foam. Aromas are peppery with grapefruit and citrus. Flavours are caramel malts with citrus and grapefruit. Quite viscous but refreshing.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Criterion Leicester. A golden beer with a white bubbly head. The aroma has good hop levels. These are citric with a sharpness akin to JHB. The taste is nicely hoppy, with lemon notes and a good bitterness. Add the extra chunk of alcohol and it becomes a really good beer.

Handpulled at Babington (JDW) Derby. Clear lemon gold body, thick creamy head. Uncomplicated citirc aroma, lemon with a hint of lime. Smooth, never cloying. Keeps a sherbert sweetness on the roof of your mouth. Well crafted.
