Cask at Butlers Bell, Stafford. Pours pale straw with minimal almost white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly citrus with hints of tangerine. In the mouth it is very briefly slightly sweet before a wave of bitterness sweeps through. Flavour is mainly citrus and mixed hops plus hints of corn and (later) biscuits, lemon and mango. Finish is quite dry. This is reasonable but there’s a bit too much citrus for my liking.

Pint at The Queens Head, Birmingham. Clear light gold, small white head with decent retention and lacing. Fruity melon, papaya, biscuits, grain. Light to medium bodied, soft. Easy drinking light pale and nothing wrong with that.
