Cask @ GBBF 09, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Clear light to medium yellow orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, earth, green apples. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is light medium, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is flat. [20090805]

Cask conditioned at Whitelocks City & Luncheon Club. Gold with slight head. Strong wheetabix flavour with some toffee. A light hop emerges later. Reasonable without hitting any heights.

Cask handpull, The Crown, Stockport. Greenish pale gold, fine white drapes. Wholemeal bread aroma (would probably say cat biscuit if it wasnt in such perfect nick) with some discreet leafy hop. Squirts of T-beer-type lime, lemon flavoured boiled sweets, white toast. Cashew and Rich Tea linger. Simple but I like it.

Cask Conditioned handpump The Pub Leicester. A blonde beer with a white bubbly head and lace. A malty fruity beer with seemingly low hop levels. Tainted by a little diacetyl throughout.

Cask @ Bon Accord. Golden colour, white head. Aroma is light hopped, citrus. Flavour is citric, hoppy, with a soft malty backbone, bit of sweet fruits. Slightly dry and bitter finish. Ok beer.

Cask (handpump) at the Great British Beer Festival Day 2, August 2009. Very pale gold colour. Not a lot of aroma. Quite dry on the palate. Some sharp hops and a fair amount of bitterness. Crisp and refreshing. A decent enough light quaffer but not particularly distinctive.

A Mes rate. Cask at the Market Porter.
Pale blonde with a thin bubbly head. Grassy and floral with a nice and dry palate. Bitter, slightly chalky finish. Run of the mill.

Cask @ GBBF 2009. Pours a golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty hoppy aroma. Fruity malty hoppy flavor with some hints of citrus and some weak hints of caramel. Has a fruity malty hoppy citrus finish.

Cask Handpump at the GBBF, Earl’s Court 05/08/2009 Floral hop aroma. Clear golden coloured hoppy and pale with a little bitterness in a crisp and dry malt finish.

Another clear golden English bitter from cask at GBBF 09. This one has got a modest aroma of fruits and a moderate, rounded taste of lemony hops. Mild hop bitterness on the swallow. Feels quite good in the mouth, a bit lightweight, though (Earls Court, 05.08.2009).
