Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Slightly spritzy golden. Fizzy, markedly fizzy on the tongue. Good gentle hop taste. Balanced, but perhaps a little watery. Goodish.

Mason & Taylor Hop Festival. Clear gold beer, no real head. Does have a mildy crisp palate, semi dry. Interesting beer! he hops are initially a little sour. Guava and papaya with a drop of mango thrown in. Rapidly gets sweeter towards the crisp dry finish which has some minerals. Intriguing!

Cask gravity at Mason & Taylor Hip Hop BF. Clear orange gold colour with lasting white head. Toasted toffee flavour. Tasty enough although a bit sweet after the ultra dry beers from the last few. Dry dusty finish. Ok

A perfect thick white foam that lasts untill the pint is empty. Solid yellow color and clear. Flowery hop aroma. Frsh hop taste with small bitterness that lasts. Medium body but big drinkabillity.

Cask - Fat Cat, Norwich. Poured orange with a very slight haze and a small, fading white head. Lovely tangerine citric hops, toasty malts and a touch floral on the nose. Fresh and dry orange flavours and grassy, citric hops in the finish. Light to medium body, low to medium carbonation with a medium length finish.

Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Straw coloured with a thin cream head that laced the glass nicely; aroma of straw and hay; light refreshing hay flavour with a touch of citrus; and a sustained light bitter finish. A pleasingly refined pint.

Cask conditioned handpump Swan & Rushes Leicester (The people group crawl). A vibrant gold coloured beer with a white head. The aroma has nice citrussy fruity hoppy notes with peach and orange showing. Hoppy and fruity citrus in the mouth with a bit of Amarillo prickle. A tasty beer again from the monkey.
