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.

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-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 18/9/08. Deep gold in colour with a decent, white head. Sweetish aroma with some apricots, floral hops and a touch of citrus. Easy drinking with a whiff of caramel, summer fruit and a decent bitter finish. Very drinkable.
