FatPhil (6205) - Tallinn, - MAY 20, 2008
Cask (Live and Let Live, Cambridge)
Fruity zesty aroma. Decent mix of bitter and aromatic hops, not too thin for a golden ale, but a little sweet perhaps.

Rune (4924) - Tromsų, NORWAY - AUG 7, 2011
Half pint, cask, at CP&K in Pimlico. Clear, copper coloured body, dotted spots at the glassware. Malt-fruity nose. Well balanced taste profile of caramel malts and fruity hops. Modest notes a spiced bitterness to the ending. Fits the name (London, 29.07.2011)

harrisoni (10069) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - DEC 29, 2010
Cask handpull at New Wheatsheaf. Gold slight haze. Some discetyl, some citrus orange fruit. Diacetyl though.is relatively mild. Still, a slightly buttery golden ale.

maeib (6618) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - SEP 23, 2007
Cask conditioned - handpump - Wig and Pen, Northampton. A golden coloured beer with an off-white head. The aroma is citric with some subtle lemon notes. The taste is bitter. Quite sharp notes. Reasonable hops. Nice.

MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 27, 2007
A Mes rate: Cask handpull at the Junction Tavern. Copper with a slight tan head. Nice sweet malt aroma with a delicate hint of alcohol. More sweet malt in the flavour with slight spicy and peppery notes. Slight alcohol in the hoppy finish but no real bitterness.

hughie (3992) - Bedford, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 28, 2006
Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Glenn Miller themed beer. The bandleader departed on his final flight from an air base near Bedford. Pleasant, summery golden ale, not quite bitter enough and nowhere near so interesting as the music.
