Cask@ Old Coffee House, smallish had, a little hazy lemon yellow colour, flowery aroma with somw citrus, pine and spiciness, flavour of citrus and peach with light malty hints in the back, pleasant medium bitterness and sourness and a touch of sweetness, all blending together. Very nice.

On cask at the Bow Bar Winter Beer Festival, 2012. Pours a light golden colour with a decent white head. Aroma of pineapple, passion fruit, caramel and alcohol. Similar resinous hop flavours with mild carbonation. Nice.

RBESG 2011 day 1 at the King William ... Light hazy yellow ... thin lacing ... soft light fruity hop ... big soft fruity hop.

Cask conditioned Handpump Old Fountain London. A blonde gold coloured beer with a good white head and lacing. Really good lemony Amarillo hops throughout this. Hints of grass. Malts are superbly balancing. Effortlessly drinkable.

Cask at the brewpub. Clear pale golden. Slight grapefruit aroma. Mid sweet with light-medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Custard and grapefruit with long bitterness. Nicely drinkable.

Cask @ William IV. Almost clear golden body with a small white head. Citric fruity aroma. Flavor is light malty and nice citric fruity, some grapefruit, peaches and grassy. Quite dry, smooth and decent bitter. Medium body and bitter aftertaste. Nice, but not much besides the hop flavors - and sometimes thats just OK.

Cask at William IV. Slightly cloudy light yellow colour with small white bubbly head. Strong lemony aroma. Quite flat in the mouth, and with not a massive amount of distinct flavour, just the lemon you get from the aroma and maybe a touch of grapefruit. Bit thin. Finish is slightly bitter. Perfectly drinkable, but not massively exciting.

Cask gravity, Tamworth BF 2011, 09/09/11. Jeepers. Nose a neat resinous burst of hop juice; ladies’ armpit, grapefruits, citrus peels, jazz cigarettes. That’s pushing 9. Pale yellow with a fringe of bubbles collapsing fast. Sings like a single hop Mikkeller. Didn’t realise Amarillo could be so pungent; taste all bitter citrus peels peppered with sherbet, swish of greenery, blunt bitter finish. Bone dry, whipped clean. A gnaw of biscuit follows, with some peanut husk. Which is all you want. Pretty sexy. Easily Beer of The Festival So Far.

Cask @ King William IV, London. RBESG 2011. Pours cloudy yellow with a small off white head. Citrussy and exotic hoppy. Hop juice. Really dry and bitter. Smooth.

Cask (RBESG 2011, London) at King William IV. Clear yellow - white head. Meat, fruity, grassy, light citrus, light bitterness, freshness, light malty, light perfumed. Freshness.
