Cask@Derby Beer Festival 2010. Bright golden beer with a light airy head. The aroma is green and hopped, and the flavour is dry, hopped and watery to an extent. Overall a reasonable dry beer with watery elements.

Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest ’10. Pale gold with white head. Doesn’t drink like a 5% beer as its light, crisp and refreshing. Juicy American hops to the fore with a thin body. Citrus and a touch of lemonade, a really pleasant beer.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Gold with a small white head. Citric hop aroma, a little grass, and a sharp bitter finish that dominates everything. Quite good. The words ’blackboard paint’ came into my mind, even though I am reasonably sure I have never knowingly tasted that substance, or even seen any for the last three decades, blackboards being but a distant memory in our educational system. It’s all ’interactive whiteboards’ now, which is why I retired.
