Craft Clerkenwell. Clear gold beer, little white head. Light palate, very slightly soft. Very mild carbonation. Light floralness and sweetish marmalade citrus. Neutral finish. It’s fine and went well with the Craft’s delicious spicy pork pie!

Had on cask at Deramore. Quite the typical golden ale, which is by no means a bad thing. Distinct fruity hop character. I would prefer this to a bitter on most occasions.

A half pint, served at a fin drinking temperature by hand pump at the Whitelocks pub in Leeds. Amber coloured body. Creamy white head, ring lacing to the glassware. Dried and fresh fruity smell. Malt-fruity taste with notes of red orange coming through. Smooth bitter ending. Oily texture. More than satisfying (12.07.2012).

Some grass in the aroma and taste. Would have liked more to the hops than this. Drinkable, but Kirkstall has some much better offerings.

On tap @ the Haymarket Bar. Pours hazy, amber with a proportionate head. The nose has grapefruit and some pale malt in the background. The taste has more of the same. The palate is medium bodied and textured with a clean finish. Overall, a nice beer.

2.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask @ The White Horse. Light clear amber color with a small white head. The nose is orange, coriander. The taste is buttery(!), floral, creamy orange. Light sourness. The finish is slick and buttery. Soft carb. Overall, I really do think this pint was starting to enter diacety territory, so I’ll have to rerate at some point in the future. Pint left unfinished :(

Cask at Southampton Arms, London on 29th April 2012. Pale amber with thin off-white foam. Citric hoppy aroma. Grapefruit hoppiness and grassy bitterness in-mouth and finish that’s both bitter and grapefruity citric. Satisfying.

Hand pulled at the Shakespeare (Summer Row), Birmingham. Golden. Reasonably crisp, milky tea hops, with specks of sugar. Malt butts in towards the finish, with dry fingers. Pleasant.
