Tasted this in Tennents Bar, Glasgow in March 2006. Cask, handpump dispense. Pale straw in colour with a thin white head. Fragrant floral hops and fresh cut grass in the lingering aroma. Thin but refreshing mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malt gives a digestive base with citric lemon and green apple notes. Spicy hops present in the dry bitter aftertaste. Finish has a sweet honeyed flavour. An excellent blond ale from Bath.

Cask (handpump) @ The New Wheatsheaf, 24 Southwark Street, Greater London, England SE1 1TY.

Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - roasted, fruity, light to moderate hoppy, citrus and apple notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, spicy hop notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20100802]

Cask at the Euston Tap. Clear yellow pour with a light, white head. Bread and cereal malts in the nose. Lightly sweet and bready with some hay bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with further notes of hay and mild sweetness. So so.

Hazy honeyish colour. The aroma is honeyish and slightly earthy, with a very fresh cracked malt character. The flavour is very earthy with shiitake and honey notes, getting almost burnt late. Dryish finish is fairly appetizing.

Cask @ Beau Nash, Bath. Nice gold. Slight haze with nice even lacing. Splash of honey in the aroma. Honey cookies with depth of character. Cookies married with hops. A lot of flavor packed into a pale mild. Aftertaste of cookie crumbs. Very nice, pleasant little brew. Brewery has been extremely unreliable unfortunately and this one really shines among them.
