Real ale. Mild aroma has citrus, bit tropical fruits. Malt stays under this. Bit cloudy honey to copper, nice dense head is one finger and long and good lacing. Bitter slightly and fruity sweet, soft round fuller’s body, soft carbonation, creamy soft very good palate, nice soft finish, nuts. Looks good, smells nice, is velvety soft and full and leaves me wanting for more while still satisfied.

Cask in the Viaduct Tavern, EC1. Lovely clear golden colour. Nice citrus hoppy aroma, taste is well balanced with firm biscuit malt holding the American hops together well. Lovely long juicy hop finish. It was a horribly muggy day but this drank really really well. Not too strong on the booze, a great hoppy bitter.

cask at bow ... golden amber ... thin white head ... soft sweet lemon zezt ... juicy fruits ... light lemon and lemon peel ... soft floral hops ... light bitter hop linger

UPDATED: JUL 2, 2012 Cask @ Corn Stores. Mid gold, small head. Bags of aroma, oranges. Less on first taste than expected, but after a few sips there’s a pleasant lingering bitterness. Flavour builds as the pint goes down - more oranges, maybe tropical fruits. Thinking of UmBongo... Bit thin in the mouth. Hugely pleasant surprise from Fullers!

Cask @ Angleterre, Helsinki

Pours clear orange with a bubbly head. Aroma of fruits, grassy hops, pine and citrus. Taste is hoppy and bitter with some citrusy notes. Finish is bitter and slightly fruity. Light bodied, but quite tasty and hoppy session ale. Nice.

Cask at The Ship, Soho:
A milder smelling beer with some honey and vanilla along with a helping of sugar and some fruity, summer like aromas shinning through. I could detect some floral hops as well but these were quite subdued.
Dark red amber colour with a thin and foamy white head on top that stays well.
Mild with the obvious honey coming through along with a blend of vanilla and butterscotch, neither of which were particularly strong but both were nice. There was a subtle alcohol kick right at the end.
Smooth & creamy with light acrbonation although this was slightly stronger than most casks meaning it didn’t seem flat. There was a nice alcohol touch and a semi-bitter finish too.

A nice honey and fruit taste to go with the general sweetness and overall the beer was pleasant and rather enjoyable.

Cask at O’Briens, golden with a cream foam and a citrus and pine nose, crisp and clean with golden peachy malt and green grassy hops, then a lasting astringent and slightly acrid and aggressive bitter finish.

Cask @ Angleterre, Helsinki.
Pours a pale hazy yellow colour with a white head. Aroma of rich floral hops and citrus. Flavour of biscuity malts, floral hops, pine and some hayish notes. Medium bodied, slick mouthfeel and a bitter, floral and citrusy finish. Delicious and good drinkability.

Cask at Christian Firtal. Golden with a small white head. Aroma of grassy and citrus hops, along with a touch of grain malt. Dry hoppy flavour with grassy, herbal, citrus and tropical fruit character. Only a little malt sweetness to balance, and an aggressive bitter finish

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small, creamy and white head. Aroma is fruity and smooth hoppy. Citrusy, peaches and grassy. Light herbal. Lasting smooth fruity and citrusy finish.
