got a bottle from realale.com to compare it to ethereals and tashis homebrew version. which came pretty close, but this is obviously a rate of the real thing. hazy amber little white rim. Aroma of coriander, nettles and a bit of farm, quite floral, hoppy with a tad of wet tobacco. Nicely bitter flavour, still floral, honeyed and hoppy, dry and mouthwatering, lovely beer.

Cask (handpump) @ The Fat Cat, Norwich, England NR2.
Clear medium yellow orange amber color with a small to average, frothy - fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel, old malt, old apples. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. (310708)

Draught. Low but lasting fluffy white head. Hazy amber body. Mild fruity caramel aroma and flavor with little hops bitterness. Low carbonation and a short aftertaste.

Cask, Irish Pub next to St Andrews Hall Norwich. A pre wedding pint prior to Guy’s wedding. I fear that this wasn’t in the best condition as I was expecting a lot more from this. Came over as lacking any real body or character; watery and thin with a bland vaguely stale aroma. Will re rate at some point.

[On draught at the Green Gate Inn, Caister-on-Sea, Norfolk] Finally found a pub serving decent quality real ale in Caister - although admittedly the choice was only this or Ruddles. Pours a pale orange-bronze with a large but diminishing head - this is an attractive pint! Soft carbonation leads into a very mellow, light-tasting pint - an earthy mellowness in the foregrouns with an odd sharpness behind that made me think of raspberries. In fact, summer fruits quickly came to dominate the flavour - this is very much an easy-drinking summer evening pint. However, there’s nothing outstanding about it, and it’s rather let down by a dusty bitter finish that doesn’t really fit in.
