3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask at the Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham on 29th December 2011. Pale gold with thin white head and almost no lacing. Spicy, yeasty aroma then a beautiful spicy/hoppy blend in-mouth - aniseed, grassy hop and citrus. Citric soapy taste leads to a lemony finish. Smooth mouthfeel and light to medium body.

on tap@Roscoe’s (Liverpool). Yellow golden color with a true snowhite head. Fruity aroma. Sweet taste of corn, I found some cheese too in it, something like Gouda or Bavarian Emmental. Medium body, a bit oily with soft carbonation. Well balanced, though.

Cask at the Stratford Haven, West Bridgford, Nottingham. Snowhilte is straw coloured, biscuity and lemony with flavours similar to both Harvest Pale and Elsie Mo, but without being as good as either of those.

On draught at The Wenlock Arms. Quite clear, golden with a decent, dense offwhite foam. Slightly fruity aroma. Pleasant fruity bitterness, harmonious throughout. Good body. Lacking a bit of character, though.

Sneaky AM half at Gateway, Leicester. Yellowish gold lagery pour with snowy white head and fingers of lace. Fragrantly, Turkish delight hoppy with an impressively bitter finish and lots of biscuity malt sweetness after the swallow.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at Royal Oak, Ockbrook. Bleached yellow, cloudy with a thin but crisp white head. Wonderfully flowery, more in a flavoursome way than an overpowering perfume that some blonds adopt. Refreshing enough to have more than one.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask Conditioned at The Vat & Fiddle, Nottingham. Pale yellow gold with thin head. This is a thin crystaly malted beer with a sharp body, it is then overlaid with an aromatic, floral peppery hop. There is a flowery taste, my mate suggested nasturtium, I thought dafodil that tracks through the beer.
