Clear medium yellow colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate hoppy, grapefruit, lemon. Flavor is moderate to light light heavy sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, citrus hops. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20120116]

Cask at The Bow Bar. Piss yellow, thin white head/ no head. Light hoppy nose. Sharp malty flavour. Not great or awful.

Light a summer beer if you will, the type of ale that farmers in Warwickshire would have sunk after a busy day on the farm. Nice, easy but not calling me back for more.

Clear and clean on most counts. Well settled head and light yellow head and colour. Unassuming lemon linger after the initial palate kick, with a tight dry finish. A vast improvement on Fosters for Australia Day anyway. (Cask, Bow Bar, Edinburgh (Winter Beer Fest))

On cask at Bar Fringe. Pours a light golden colour with a thin white head. Hoppy aroma of pineapple and caramel. Similar flavours with a dry finish. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel.

Cask, Swan & Rushes, Leicester. Golden with a thin foam. Aromas are biscuit malts with lychee and apricot. Lemon with dusty yeast and herbal notes. Flavours are sweet apple juice with toasted malts followed by a great floral, peppery, clean hoppiness. Good stuff.

and verily i say unto thee, than on the 20th day of January in the year of our Lord 2112 i found myself if an Edinburgh hostilary named Cloiters and belike this be one of my favourite places to embibe the amber nectar. It was their that the underskinner poured forth a flagon of Kangaroo court for my pleasure and enjoyment for the nonce. Soft and dry lemon wafted up from the glass with just a touch of bittterness while in the smatch i can espial a touch of light lemons and soft fruits and forsooths i can say a long light bitterness came henceforth from the liqour that verily i say unto thee that i will still be tasting on the morrow, in sooth these vital were rather dull.

I dunk this after some coding.

Cask @ Cask & Barrel Southside, Edinburgh. Pale yellow colour, good head. Resin, biscuit & citrus fruit aroma & flavour. Dry bitter aftertaste. Good golden ale.

Cask by handpump at Bon Accord, Glasgow (13 Jan 12) - pours a clear pale golden colour with a thin white head and lovely citus aroma, hint of tropical fruits and a smooth sweetish balanced finish.
