ACD (379) - Dublin, IRELAND - MAY 24, 2013
Cask at CBC. Light gold with thin white froth. Mandarin and mango on the nose, some pale sweet biscuity malt too. Taste is crisp pale malt, with sweet mandarin and mango. Touch of lime pithiness. Light, crisp and refreshing - spot on for a session ale.

garthicus (2358) - Dublin, IRELAND - MAR 6, 2013
On tap at the CBC. On cask. Appearance: Golden yellow, small snow white head. Aroma: Beautifully hoppy nose with a good amount of fruit and malt. Flavour: Hoppy at first making way to a nice fruity burst with grassy undertones, lovely maltiness too with a long softly bitter finish. Quite lovely. Quite sessionable. A great example of how flavourful a beer can be without being huge on alcohol.

Leighton (7183) - London, ENGLAND - JAN 22, 2013
On tap at CBC - Clerkenwell, London. Pours clear yellow with a fine, white foam head. Delicate floral nose, some biscuits. Light sweet flavor, all pale malts, dry lemon and light grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderate dryness to finish, some pithy citrus, mellow mineral notes. Quenching and fresh. Nice.

Taste follows, touch more orange, hops, light grassy notes. Light medium in body with soft carbonation with some light bitterness in the finish. A Flavoursome session beer.

JCB (3862) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - SEP 26, 2012
On tap at Craft Beer Co. Pale gold pour, and a soft floral nose. Certainly midway between a nice herbal blond and a session pale. After all the cask brews I’d had, the mouthfeel on this one certainly seemed riotous. But it was zesty and brought out a bit more of the flavors, some soft citrus and bittering notes. Solid session brew.

sm89walt (1599) - Norwich, Norfolk, ENGLAND - MAR 24, 2012
Cask - The Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell, London. A clear golden beer with a two finger lasting & lacing white head. Slightly sulphurous qualities throughout with lemon, grass and toasted malt. Light to medium body, spritzy mouthfeel, medium intensity bitterness with medium length duration. Cheers Mario!

OleR (4248) - Oslo, NORWAY - JAN 10, 2012
From cask @Craft Beer Co, London. A cap of creamy blond head, over a hazed orangey golden body. Fresh and mild hop aroma, reminiscent of ripe oranges, flowers and freshly cut grass. Also a whiff of toasted and light doughy malts. Taste is complex and balanced for such a light beer. Pleasant hop profile, gentle and fruity. Base of fairly dry and crisp pale malt. Soft mouthfeel. Super drinkability. The ultimate all-nighter?
