Cask @ The Priory Arms. The pour’s light gold with a small head. The nose is mild grass and bread. Slight notes of honey. Not much aroma. The taste is pale malt, some mild grassy hops, hints of angel food cake. Light body, smooth. Overall, entirely forgettable. OK.

Cask, Criterion, Leicester. Clear gold with a white foam. Aromas are an abundance of cereal with mellow lemon and caramel. Lots of garlic from the garlic bread in the room. Flavours are sweet cereal with caramel and cardboard. Spritzy yeast with lemon and light honey. Floral with a dry finish. Lots of lager aspects without actually being anything like a lager - still decent.

Cask conditioned at The Turf Tavern, Oxford. Gold with slight head. easily more of a British bitter than anything German in character. Dry, lighlty hoppy, cereal malt a little toasted. Some bittersweet notes, reasonably drinkable and refreshing.

Cask @ The Old Fountain. Clear gold with a lasting white head. Grassy hop nose, a little fruit and grainy malt. Has a strange pistacio nut note that I can only assume is the yeast? Flavor is much the same, slightly wheaty with a bittersweet linger. Decent but more of a British take on German really.
