Cask gravity at Gbbf 2011. Clear gold lasting ivory head. Its actually got some hops and some fruit on the aroma. Tangerine and peach. Its fine if a touch artificial. How do they get that peach apricot in here. Its on the face of it ok but a bit artificial overall.

imdownthepub (8470) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - NOV 17, 2011
Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Gold with white head. Reasonable, biscuity body carrying a light, fruity hop, quite lingering, smooth and with a bit more oomph would be quite tasty. Not bad though.
