Cask@Red Lion BF, Isleworth, London. Some aromatic hops, some subtle kiwi fruit and lychee, fruity, but quite crisp and short, pretty easy to drink and all that, but felt a bit thin.

Cask at Viper Mill Green Beer Festival.
Golden with white head. I did not really notice the elderflower. A pleasant beer but I did not find the masses of hops.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pale gold colour. It was very difficult to assess the aroma of this beer as there was a barbeque smoking away in the immediate vicinity. Lots of grapefruity citrus in the flavour. Can’t say I noticed the elderflower. Dry, but quite soft, finish. Clean and crisp. All in all, a pretty good quaffing beer - no great complexity, but does the job. Cask (gravity), Red Lion Beer Festival, Isleworth.

Cask conditionned, Old Moot HalL, Nottingham. Another belter of a Scottish beer, light, golden and hoppy, but with good malt flavours and hints of elderflower. extremly quaffable.
