Cask Conditioned. Pale light golden beer. Originally an autumn beer but now generally more available this is a soft drinking malty, fruity pale ale. A little on the sweet side.

(Cask): Cloudy appearance. Aroma is very lightwith faint fruit notes. Biscuity flavor, sweet honey/tea, very moderate hops.

Cask, Tiger's Head, London. This is a Blond Ale. Shimmering straw colour with a soft mouthfeel. Delicate flavours up front gradually open up like the petals of a flower at dawn. Butter, honey, soft lemon. Texture thins out toward the finish which introduces an apple flavour but ends too quickly on a faint astringent note. Aroma of grass.

First impressions show a very pale coloured beer, but bright and clear in the glass. Initial aromas are of hay. A very palattable taste that is at first refreshing, giving way to a dry crisp finish, with a lingering bitterness.
