imdownthepub (8470) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - SEP 17, 2009
Cask conditioned at The Blue Bell, York. Gold with white head. Really a very pleasant, hopped session type bitter, refreshig and a touch dry, easily over doing the low ABV. Pretty good for its type.

maeib (7542) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - MAR 4, 2011
Cask Conditioned handpump Coach & Horses Wellingborough. More copper than pale gold if you ask me with a nice whitish bubbly head and lacing. The hops are fairly grassy in the nose and lightly fruity in the mouth. Quite light all round but quaffable enough.
