(cask @ Coopers , Rochester) This was very ordinary . Too sweet and lacking a bright hop showcase.!

Cask conditioned at Harbury Beer Fest ’11. Pale gold with slight head. Light, thinnish, slightly metallic and really quite tasteless. Didn’t do much for me.

Cask Handpump at the Kings Arms, Heath 22/12/2007 Hoppy aroma. Small white head. Clear golden coloured hoppy and fruity with a crisp and dry slightly bitter finish.

Cask, Charters, Peterborough. Dead lager amber. House sweet hay, shite and conifer aroma with noble hints and barnyard. Lemon barley and grassy hop beyond, gnaw of peanut. Sweetish, damp, barley water fruity and OK.

UPDATED: SEP 8, 2008 A Mes rate: cask at the Market Porter.
Clean bright gold with a decent white head and good lacing. Very bland aroma and a little dirty in the hop department. Thankfully the flavour is a lot better. Nice and citric and very grassy. Slight wooden notes and a good earthy malt feel in the finish. Not bad.

Cask (handpump) at the Castle, Holborn. Pretty much what I expected. Golden. Light citric hop. Clean and quaffable. Does what it says on the tin, without too much fuss or extravagance. Pleasantly refreshing.

Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2007. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of fruit - and so is the flavor, with a slightly bitter finish.

Golden with a small white head. Grass and lemon aroma. Sweet and rather herbal flavour with a dry finish.

Cask @ Volunteer Arms, GBBF 2007. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Fruity malty hoppy citrus aroma. Sweet malty fruity citrus hoppy flavor. Malty finish and a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Gold with a small white head. Floral, perhaps even herbal hop aroma. Somehow rather a depressing soapy tatse. Oily mouthfeel. Low bitterness.
