3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20Cask@thebell, walsall. Hazy golden colour with a small head. No aroma of note. Taste is of slightly bitter hops, a little citrus and slightly sweet. This is more like a golden ale than a pale lager. An ok beer, my first cask lager.

Pint at the Three Guineas in Reading. Golden beer with short-lived bubbly head. Smooth, slightly oily, a hint of sweetness, smooth. Malty aroma with a hint of hops. Decent for an English lager, much nicer than Carling! Tastes more like a golden ale. A creditable effort at a lager.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On cask at the Bon Accord. Pours a blonde colour with a fair white head. A grainy aroma similar to sweet wort with yeast and grassy hops. Similar flavours with mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Mildly bitter with lingering grain and grass. Quite a dry finish. Really interesting.
