Cask at Manchester Winterfest. These riders must have limped in on a spindly 3 legged nag. This is vaguely hoppy, vaguely malty, insubstantial beer. End.

Cask at GBBF. Clear light amber beer. Dry palate. Light crisp malt and a vague hint of hop. Dull, dull, dull!

rauchbier (3207) - Isle Of Beer, Lincolnshire, ENGLAND - MAY 3, 2012
Bottle from Asda Scunthorpe. Deep gold, thin but lasting white head and gentle condition. Slightly sweet in the nose with hints of caramel and biscuits, more caramel sweetness in the mouth and a developing hop bitterness beginning to tingle, short sweet finish.

niquillis (429) - Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, ENGLAND - APR 18, 2011
On cask at The Congress, Longton, Staffs. Excellent amber coloured beer, very smooth with citrus aftertaste and very easy to drink. One of the best beers I’ve drunk in a while.

Svesse (4402) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - SEP 19, 2010
(Cask at Carpenter’s Arms, Marble Arch, London, 6 Aug 2010) Amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with orange, apricots and marmalade. Malty, fruity taste with notes of orange, apricots, biscuity malt and slightly dusty hops in the finish. Medium body, with a certain malt sweetness. Well balanced and tasty.

joe19612 (1187) - camberley, Surrey, ENGLAND - AUG 22, 2010
Cask at GBBF 2010. Pours a pale golden colour, aroma is very citrus, with a light fruity taste which leads to a dry bitter finish.

MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 21, 2010
A Sim rate (cask at the Cask): Bitter hops but not too much in the aroma. Bitter again in the flavour. Malty, wheaty and slightly hoppy. Quick hoppy finish. Ok, but not great.
