Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 09/05/10. Amber with a slight white head. Aroma of slightly sweet malts, plum and grassy hops. Cereal malt flavour, with some hedgerow hops and decent bitter finish. Good.

Cask conditioned, gravity dispensed at The Turf Tavern, Oxford. Cloudy Gold to amber with slight head. Light and just a touch thin on the palate, there is a hint of metallic malts, fruitiness from the lack of conditioning, but struggling to find the hops really.

Cask (gravity) @ The 16th Reading Beer and Cider Festival 2010, Reading, Berkshire England.

Clear medium amber color with a small, fizzy to frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, malt, light caramel, moderate to light light heavy hoppy, orange - citrus, fruit orange. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration, mandarin. Body is medium, texture is oily and sticky, carbonation is soft to flat. [20100430]
