Cask gravity at 1st K&ES Railway BF 2009. Clear amber, very lasting off white head. Great condition. Pretty drinkable. Some nuttiness on finish. Not flashy but very good for what it is.

MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 6, 2008
A Mes rate: Cask at the Marble Arch Inn.
Gold with a thin white rim. The nice hops and faint sugar in the aroma are over powered by something really pungent. Full on wheat and straw flavour that is rather acrid. Faint bitterness in the finish just about saves it from a complete FAIL.

DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JUN 26, 2009
Cask in the new wheat sheaf. Alround rating: Honey sweetness, nutty almond character, sweet and unbalanced blonde, im not gettign any hops.

DruncanVeasey (5138) - NUNEATON, Blue Square Prem, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - APR 9, 2011
Cask gravity, Cov 2011. Orange gold with a fast-dispersing bubbled top. Bilious, lightly resinous aroma with a glaze of beeswax.. Soapy bittering hop, orange peel hints- it’s more the seawater and rich tea biscuit character that shines through than the NZ stuff. Cream and biscuit linger. Very disappointing.

Benjii (2337) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - AUG 21, 2011
On cask at Cloisters. Pours a golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma of orange, barley and caramel. Similar flavours with some pine. Nicely bitter with an oily mouth-feel. Mild carbonation and a nice orange linger.
