[RBESG, Sheffield]
Cask @ The Wellington, Sheffield.
Pours lightly pale golden with a small, off-white film head. Aroma has pine, light sulhur, grassy hops and green apples. Prickly soft carbonation, fair mouthfeel. Flavour is rather sweet, good piney hops, though. Light fruity and grassy on top of the pine.

imdownthepub (7494) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - MAY 6, 2010
Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest ’10. Gold with white head. Wow, I really enjoyed this one. The Chinook hops really stand out, grapefruit, citrus and very quenching, but also with good balance from a biscuity malt. Excellent.

A Mes rate: cask at the Welly.
Pale gold with a very thin white head. Big hops all round. Seems to be lots of the three Cs here. Sweet malt base supports the pine and citrus and grass really well. Good bitter kick in the finish. Somewhat of a win but a little way from awesome.

A Mes rate: Cask at the Crown Inn.
A lovely clean gold with a decent white head and some spotty lace. As with everything at the Crown this was in tip top condition. Bags of citric fruit in the aroma. Lemon, peach and grapefruit fest with some very sniffable floral and grassy hops. Same again in the flavour with some lovely dusty bitterness and a bit citric hop hit in the finish. Very en joyable indeed.
