A Mes rate: cask at the Harlequin.
Pale gold with a very slight white collar. Fruity malt, slight diacetyl. Wheat, peat and wow, I think I can detect hops in the finish. I could be wrong. I had a belting Betwixt mild in the Wenlock once, this was NOT even close.

Cask @ Harlequin, Sheffield.
Pours hazy golden with a green hue. Aroma has lots of citrus with a herbal edge. Low carbonation, a bit thin. Flavour is lightly herbal, some mint, rather sweet. Low bitterness. Not impressive.

Ok... in a departure from normal rating... due to the INCREDIBLY high number of BLOND ales during the Shefiled trip that all blended into one another im breaking them down into three catagories
Catagory A : Golden Yellow ... light fruity lemon hop nose ... soft dull light lemon hop
Catagory B : Amber ... light dry lemon hop ... soft light lemon hop with a little malt in background
Catagory C : Amber ... soapy lemon nose ... light brigh lemon hop
Catagory D : Amber ... light grassy lemon hop ... dry grassy lemon hop
Catagory E : Amber ... light grapefruit hop ... again light hop with a little grapefruit
This is a Catagory A
