Pre-strike night with Octo, The Flowerpot, Derby, 29/11/11. Wet gold, slim lid. One of them. Sappy, dandelion and almond aroma. Lemony with light sulphur. Pleasant. Finishes with dunked malted milk biscuit. Dab of marg. Weedy. But at 3.6% can’t really complain.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cask at CPK, Pimlico, London on 29 January 2011. Crystal clear, pale gold with a white foam part-lacing head. Inviting grassy, herby aroma; bitter and fruity simultaneously in-mouth, featuring grassy hoppiness and berry fruits. Bitterness lingers and satisfies in the finish, on a light mouthfeel. Refreshing, easy-drinking and satisfying.

Cask handpull at Cask Pun and Kitchen, Pimlico. Very pale gold with lasting white head. Sweaty sox hoppy aroma. Decent session beer with just a bit too sweaty sox. Good drying finish though.

Cask at the Smithfield, Derby. Straw with a creamy head; wheat and citrus aroma; similar flavours with a smooth creamy texture; long tart and bitter citrus finish. Very refreshing, but not very exciting.
1.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
Cask at the Flowerpot, Derby. 08-09-07 I don’t really know what was wrong with this, it poured fine, golden in colour and with small white head, good clarity, but tasted soapy and quite poor, I really should’ve taken this back but it was the end of the night, I’d had a rake of ale and my dad was threatning to go onto the Thomas Sykes next at 10%, poor beer to end what had been a great day of generally very good beers.

Cask@Flower Pot, Derby. Golden beer with a light head. The aroma is lightly dry and the flavour is lightly dry and slightly fruity. Overall an OK light and mild beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at the Flowerpot Derby, strong citrus flavours in a relatively low ABV beer. Sunflower golden. Really good.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Really nice ale here. Aroma is citrusy and grassy. Taste is pale lager malts with a hint of sweetness, mandarin and lemon citrus flavours, dry bitter finish, i could drink a serious amount of this stuff.
