(Draught at the Coach and Horses, Norwich) Pint looked fairly good, if a little weak - was golden (you don’t say) with a small but perfectly white head. Smell was of hops, citrusy, with an element of bitterness and malt. Taste was a good biscuity malt flavour combined with citrusy, lemon and orange hops bringing an air of bitterness to produce a good bittersweet, well rounded flavour. Nice, a good golden cask beer. Good start to the night.

Cask@The Alexandra Tavern, Norwich. Golden colour, small white creamy head. Aroma is fruity, nectary and mildly malty as well. Flavour is fruity, wooden, nectary and also has some pleasant herbal notes to it. Wellbalanced and leaves a nice fruity finish and aftertaste.

Cask - Coach and Horses, Norwich. Golden with a fine white head that gradually dissipated to a sparse layer of foam. Light citrusy, bittersweet aromas that translate to the flavour profile too, which consists of a refreshing grassy hoppiness and a decent malt body. Simple yet soft and smooth, slightly oily finish. A pleasant, quaffable session blonde.

Cask conditioned at The Alexandra Tavern, Norwich. Gold with white head. Quite a simple, straightforward golden beer, light and bittersweet with some tangy fruit flavours. Light and refreshing, pretty reasonable.
