Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London.
Pale golden coloured body, with a slight, lacy white head. Crystal clear condition. Very fruity, hoppy aroma. Pineapple and pears. Nice hop bite to it but with a short palate and low bitterness, it got an unexpected finish. Nice easily quaffable beer.

This brewery has good things, I am not in a bitter club but although its classification, it had a nice bitter taste.

(cask @ The Old Toad - Rochester, NY) Slightly hazy golden color with a soapy and thick white head. Aroma is rather hoppy with some floral notes and some light citrus. Flavor has a very nice and strong hop flavor and a sweet middle of citrus and a nice and bitter hoppy finish. Alcohol isn’t so high that you can’t drink a lot of these. Very nice.

Clear gold with a white head, nice lace. Hoppy citrus and grapefruit aroma. Sweet biscuity malt with a nice citric hop kick behind it. Quite dry, very refreshing. Full bodied smooth. Nice.
