Bottle thanks to Fergus. It pours cloudy gold with a medium white head. The nose is toasty, grassy, bitter - sweet, light spice, apricot and some orange. The taste is crisp, bitter, toasty grain, cracker, apricot, grassy, wheaten bread and pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Crisp and pretty drinkable. Not bad.

500ml bottle from Hawkshead Brewery Tap - Cloudy hazy pale yellow body, thin white head. Nose is a little flowery, some dough, yeast and some sweet stone fruit. Taste is a winner, nice and fresh, little bit of citrus, long tangy and clean finish. Very refreshing, and just the right side of fizzy.

Bottle from The Bottle Shop, Cheadle Hulme [061111]
Amber, hazy, big frothy bubbly white head, good lacing
Aroma of citrus hops, lemon, soft sweet malts, fresh, slight orange zest, good aroma
Taste - Fairly sweet caramel base, some bitter lemon zest, slight honey, dab of creamy sponge cake mix, soft orange zest, soft wheat. Like the malts in this, good citrus hop. Quite a complex flavour.
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, rather sweet, good mouth feel. Finish of nice sweet creamy caramel and bitter orange zest.
Overall - Liked this a lot. Bit unusual. Packed with flavour.

On cask at the Beer Hall. Appearance - hazy golden with a proportionate head. Nose - elderflowers and a general herby feel. The main aromas are citrus. Taste - more citrus and herbs. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a balanced finish. Overall - the beer of the day which is unusual as it’s not one of my preferred styles.

Cask @ The Font, Manchester. Pours clear gold with thin white head. Unfortunately this was just way too warm, had a sweet gooey banana aroma with overripe bananas, sugar and dough in the taste. Served at the right temperature I’m sure this would’ve got a higher rating but this time it was too offputting. Will re-rate if I see it again.

Cask (Castle Bar, Cockermouth) - Hazy golden with a white head. Lemon, coriander and some soapy hops in the taste. Tangy and refreshing taste with notes of lemon meringue pie, coriander and orange peel.
