Cask at Coach and Horses, Dronfield 2012.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at the Holborn Whippet, London. Pours a light hay yellow-gold with a thick, white foam head. Decent nose, lots of straw and zesty lemon. Light sweet flavor with dry hay bitterness, crunchy cereal, dough, mild lemony citrus. Light bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Lightly sweet finish with soft bitter hay, biscuits, straw, mild citrus rind. Very restrained in character overall though nicely nuanced and very drinkable.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask at the Magpie, very light, good condition but not a lot of aroma and quite light in flavour. Like a thin average golden ale.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 23rd May 2012. Pale gold with thin off-white head decaying to almost nothing. Hoppy, slightly savoury aroma. Richly fruity in-mouth, with light hoppiness and just a touch of saltiness. Bitter flash then a bittersweet finish. Light, smooth mouthfeel. Delicious yet light session ale, perfect for a warm summers eve.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask at the Hilary step, Manchester. Aroma of pine, citrus, peach, overall kinda floral. Very light tasting with faint caramel malt and some sharp bitter hops. Very thin bodied. Good if you want a light beer with a hops kick.

On cask at The York Tap. Pours a light golden colour with a fair white head. Aroma of pine, pineapple and caramel. Similar flavours with mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Very drinkable with a dry finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hand pulled at the Sheffield Tap. Soft, floral Golden, with gentle, dusty hops. Soft, easy drinking, but with plenty flavour for the ABV.

2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bland and wholly uninspiring - perhaps moreso with respective knowledge of the brewery. The bitter aftertaste is for me, redeeming.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask, The Sheffield Tap, Sheffield. Pale very slightly hazy yellow. Citrus and coriander aroma. Smooth with a pine resin flavour, long astringent lime infused finish.
