Cask (gravity dispense) at GBBF, August 2005. More pale amber than gold in colour. The grapefruity Cascade notes are evident, but I’m sure Americans would find the hopping rather timid. Coupled with a quite light body, this adds up to a pleasant, crisp quaffing beer with insufficient gusto to score higher.

Cask at the Thirsty Scholar, Manchester. Very light blond in color, with a low head. Fruity, cascade-driven nose, and it also smells as if there may be wheat in there. Fruity flavor with good maltiness. An amazing hop finish. Well balanced, interesting light ale. Served slightly colder than usual on a hot summer day, and it worked well. A good, full-flavored blond ale.

Cask Handpump at the Penny Black, Northwich (JDW) 02/08/2005 Golden coloured hoppy and smooth on the palate with a citrus aroma. Slightly dry finish.

UPDATED: FEB 12, 2006 [Cask at GBBF 2005] An orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet malty, while the flavor besides being sweet has a light hoppy touch, leading to a dry bitter end. The body is thin.

GBBF 2005 Softly sweet malt with a pleasantly fragrant hop top. Clean and refreshing.

[Cask conditioned] Golden coloured. Citrusy cascade hops in the aroma and in the flavour. Light and refreshing.

Cask@GBBF 05. I missed something here. Gold in colour as the name would suggest. Cascade is in there, but not as noticable as in other beers of the same style (and of cours who use the same hop). Lemony and thin, with some slightly buttery notes. It was OK at times, but very boring on most sips.

Cask @ GBBF 2005: Golden coloured. Clear. Fluffy white head. Fresh and herbal fruityness in the aroma. Flavour is herbal, hoppy and has some grapy notes. Is light bitter in the end. Very refreshing and high drinkability.
