Cask, Gravity at Banbury Beer Festival, Oxon, 08-05-09 Pours light gold with a small white head. There is vanilla and light malts, its a touch creamy but a nice easy going session beer. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov13 3.1

Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest ’09. Pale gold with white head. Pilsner ale crossover but a heavy perfumed hop, floral and herby and soapy. A little too over the top for me, but there is a certain drinkability with it.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 09. Golden lasting bubbly off white head. Fairly average golden ale with some hop on finish.

Cask, Charters, Peterborough. Something like an English Boho Pils. Pale, shining clarity with lace curtains. Buttery vanilla malt and mellow noble hops. Floral, sickly and surprising at first, but really won me over. A well-executed, tasty ale.

Cask at Out of the Vaults, Leicester. This pale golden beer has a perfumy floral aroma and a somewhat thin flavour which is too soapy for my liking. That said, I drank this after some very powerfully-flavoured beers; I might prefer it if I had it separately or earlier in a session.
