Cask-conditioned at the Watershed, Bristol 6/09/10. Clear gold appearance with a slight white head. Grassy hop aroma, with a hint of sweetness. Easy drinking, with a touch of fruit, peppery hop and dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Cask handpull at Evening Star, Brighton. Pale gold, thin white head. It’s an ok slightly ascetic blond ale with above average hop on the finish. Very drying. It’s decent if maybe a tad light on the malts for me.

Cask gravity, Tamworth 2010. Pale orange, fleeting white halo. Light but distinctly resinous, flowery and soapy pine aroma. Sickly at first, with cashew and cornflake dominating, but some discreet lemony and herbal character coming over as you get to the bottom of it. Intriguing, and a welcome change of gear from the US-accented stuff.
