imdownthepub (7494) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - MAR 26, 2006
Cask Conditioned at Coventry Beer Festival. Pale Gold with white head. This was the beer of the Festival for me. A tremendous hop delivery an a light crisp, maybe slightly bready, yeasty base. But the thing here is hops and lots of them. Long long dry hoppy finish, I could drink plenty of this.

MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 28, 2009
A Mes rate. Cask at the Market Porter. Clean gold with a good white head and decent condition. Nice citric bitterness with some chewy hoppage in the finish. Straight forward drinkable Brit stuff but nice enough for it.
