Cask Conditioned, at the Head of Steam, Euston, London.
Golden beer with a nice fluffy white head from the pump. The beer was in wonderful condition. Hoppy and delicious, with light and delicate pineapple notes. The beer finish with a good bitter bite and was outstanding.

Any first impressions?
-A veil of foam tops the clear peachy golden.
-Honeyed maltiness seductively interacts with the citrusy, floral, wooden hop perfume.
-Cereal and citrusy hops have a firm grip on the tastebuds, and no one’s complaining, quite the contrary.
-The mouthfeel is clean, lean, and mean, always drinkable and amorously fed.
What if you dig deeper?
-The flavor profile is very well balanced.
-Apricot add to the already fruity finish.
-Lots of flavor for such a light brew, which makes this all the more commendable. A great session blond ale, no doubt. Thanks Gareth!

Very suprising, best iv had from kelburn. Aroma is grapefruit and slightly floral hops. Taste is similar, with a fuller than expected flavour for something of this strength. Very refreshing and i hope we’ll be getting this back in soon - wetherspoon (kirky puffer).

Cask @ Radical Road. Warm gold with tight head. Nice hoppy aroma is mellow. Great hoppy flavors--fruity--what kind of hop is that? Good sweet malts balanced by leafy juicy hops. Balanced and sessionable. Nice summer ale!

Amber colour. Citric hops behind a blanket of tea-ish hops. Fruity, citric hoppy flavour profile with a thorough bitterness, that is all pleasant. Light-medium body.
