Cask by handpump at Pot Still, Glasgow - pours pale clear golden with a white head, bit cold, sweet, fruity, smooth, pleasant, no prolonged aftertaste

UPDATED: MAR 25, 2012 Cask at The Bree Louise, London. Pours clear gold with a few bubbles for a head. Bready malt aroma with some ripe citrus hops. Medium sweet flavor with a nice fruit character. Some crunchy grains, also grapes, oranges and dull cherries. Light to medium bodied with soft carbonation. Mild sweet finish, some fruit jam, toast. Very enjoyable stuff. (3.7) <br >
Gravity cask at The Duchess of Cambridge, London. Pours clear, rich gold with a tight, light cream head. Nose of light dough, yeast, citrus, flowers, bubblegum and straw. Light sweet flavor, fruity with some citrus and berries and light hay bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Light sweet and light bitter finish with mild hay, fruit and faint grain. A tan bland but a very basic, easy bitter. (3.1)

Cask@The Bree Louise, London. Golden colour, small off-white head. Aroma is nutty, mildly fruity, wooden caramelly and sweet malty. Flavour is honey, sweet malts, resin and some nice floral notes. Finishes in a pleasant wooden and floral toffeeish balance.

First tasted this in Gabriels, Paisley in August 1997. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale amber in colour with a thick white head. Light aroma of meadowsweet and dusty hay. Thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a light digestive biscuit note with fruity citric flavours of gooseberry and kiwi. Dusty hop resins give an aromatic dry bitter aftertaste. Good malt and hop balance in the well rounded finish. A good session ale for hot summer days.

Cask @ The State. Golden colour, white head. Aroma is light malted and fruity. Flavour is malty, fruity and light sour finish.

UPDATED: DEC 11, 2010 Cask @ The State Bar. Toffee apple aroma, rich golden colour. Mixed fruit flavour. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Not bad.

Cask, handpull at the Malt and Hops?, Edinburgh, with Craig, Jan, Charlotte & Loz, 29.10.10 Pours amber with a big white fluffy head. The aroma isn’t up too much. Taste is low-med bitterness, bit too much confectionary going on here for me, too sweet lacking bite and identity. A6 A5 T6 P3 Ov12 3.2

Cask Conditioned Handpump Old Fountain London. A golden beer with a big white head and lacing. Shallow fruits and berry notes throughout this. Not convinced this was yet ready as seemed a bit green.

A Mes rate. Cask at the Dog n Bell thanks to Carrie.
Clean pale amber with a thin white head and plenty of lace. Perfumed aroma. Actually it’s very floral. Similar flavour. A slight hint of honey. Some faint bitterness in the finish. Dull but drinkable.

Cask conditioned at The Coastguard Inn, St Margarets bay, Kent. Gold with white head. Sharp and hoppy, hurrah, nicely dry with a slightly thinnish malt, hopefully the end of a bad run. Fresh and lasting bitterness. Decent.
