Cask (backlog). Slightly hazy golden colour with a small off-white fluffy head. Aroma is mild nectar, some floral and fruity notes along with a mild bready maltiness to it. Flavour is quite similar, but has some more bittery notes as well as a slight edge of nectar. Quite bitter finish.

Cask: hand-pulled on 9th April 2015 at the Isle of Man CAMRA beer festival. Plus another pint the following day in The Sidings, Castletown. Light golden brown body with a white topping. Mild citrus notes in the hoppy aroma and taste, floral hints also in the nose, less so in the flavour. The malts give a mini-sweetness to the brew below the hop front. Decent session ale and the alcohol level belies the beers depth and flavour.

Cask @ The Bay, Port Erin. Pale brown in the glass, The beer starts smooth, fresh. A bit watery and not too deep. The mainpart is sweetish-malty, fresh, but nothing interesting here. Very boring and sweetish! The aftertaste is slightly bitter, sweetish-fresh, nothing more. Not even bitter. Very disappointing!

Cask at Wandsworth Beer Festival, March 2012. It pours hazy golden yellow, with a thin white head and suspended particles. The nose is butter, hay and some sulphur (so not great!). The taste is butter/diacetyl, straw, corn, cereal, some sweet tinned fruit and citrus pith, with dryness in the finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Not much flavour and what there is I don’t like!

Cask at the Wandsworth Common Spring BF, London. Pours a very cloudy gold with a foamy, white head. Light tangy nose of hay and dough. Light sweet flavor with tons of diacetyl, buttery dough, hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sweet on the finish with more doughy bread, biscuits, butter, and faint hay bitterness. A little diacetyl is alright and can indeed enhance a beer’s character, but this beer has too much. Somewhat mediocre.
