Cask conditioned at The Anchor, Birmingham. Pale gold with white head. As KnutAlbert says, a good session beer, eggy, sulphery notes, quite fruity and rounded and really fairly tasty. I liked it.

A very solid blonde ale. Poured a very pleasant golden colour and first impressions were encouraging. It is was very light and refreshing, with distinct citrusy overtones and a well balanced bitterness. Would definitely try again

Cask gravity at Pigs Ear 2008.
Smooth, drinkable, but there is nothing extra here to make it truly fine. A good session beer.

Cask handpump at GBBF, Trade Day 03-08-10 Pours pale gold with white bubbling head. This is quite a shock after all of those US hoppy beers in that its back to the wonderful simpleness of a UK cask beer. There is a soft sweetness, some citrus on the nose and in the mouth, easy going and jolly tasty. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
