hughie (2150), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Oct 6, 2007 Cask, gravity, at Bedford Beer Festival ’07. Dark gold. Malty aroma. Delightful grainy malt taste plus a hint of pear fruitiness. Mid bitter finish. harrisoni (5106), Ashford, Kent, England Jul 10, 2008 Cask handpull at Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. It’s gold, obviously with a thin beige head. A strong golden beer in the Summer Lightning vane. In fact if you gave me this and said it was Summer Lightning I’d believe you. Some yeast on armoa, a bit sweet in mouth. Drying citrus hop on finish. DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Oct 29, 2006 1. Cask Stillage at the Morris Dancer, Kelsall 14/04/2001
