Cask at GBBF 2010. An amber beer with no head. The aroma has notes of spicey and citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet with ntoes of malt, caramel, and citrusy hops.

From cask. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and slight cornish. Sweet malty and fruity flavoured. Bitterness coming through into a medium dry finish.

Cask@GBBF2010. Hazy amber colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, some earth, wood and mild fruityness. Flavor is quite the same in a nice balance.

Cask @ Wenlock Arms, Hoxton, London N1. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty and slightly grassy hoppy citrus aroma. Sweetish malty fruity hoppy flavor with some hints of citrus. Has a fruity malty hoppy finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

UPDATED: SEP 19, 2009 Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury. Copper colour with disappearing head. Aroma of diacetyl. Hard buttery aroma. Some bitterness on end, but ultimately poor due to the diacetyl. 1.8/5 Re-rate, bottle from Sainsbury during beer festival . Clear darkish gold, thin white head. Some fruit salad and hop aroma. Vague Cascades. Biscuity malts. Biscuity pale malts here are the best thing about this. Really good digestive biscuit hints. Some ok fruit and some slightly biting hops. Given my previous rating this was a hell of a lot better than I was expecting. Love the biscuit malt and slight aggressive hop. More my kind of beer.

Cask Handpump at the GBBF, Earl’s Court 04/08/2010 Some hop aroma. Golden coloured smooth on the palate and fruity with a crisp and slightly bitter malt finish.

Bottled, 500ml from Sainsburys, Banbury. Gold with white head. Ok, a little on the thin side, but this is a pleasant enough beer, grassy, citrus hops over a slightly citrusy body, a trifle sweet, but quite refreshing. Just enough bitterness to keep the interest. Reasonable.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Last Plantaganet, Leicester. A slightly hazy yellowy orange coloured beer with a white head and lacing. The aroma is citrus with some pineapple notes. The taste is nice and fresh with good citricity. A nice zingy mouthfeel reminiscent of fizz bombs from the 70s. Really nice and a bit of a surprise.

bottle from a delicatessen in Ross-on-Wye. Hazy golden colour, small white head. Citrusy nose. Light-bodied, malty with lots of fruity flavours and lovely citrusy hop flavours. A bit too light (thin?) perhaps.
