Cask @ Moon Under Water (JDW), MK. Deep lager yellow, a fine head at first but it dissipates too quickly. Aroma is very un-Pilsnery: faint orange & lemon peel and sandalwood. Taste is even stranger: sweet and honeyed leading to a short dry aftertaste. Ok, but not what I was expecting!

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW - London. Pours perfectly clear yellow-gold with a tight, creamy white head. The nose has some perfume quality to it, a bit of white grape, melon. Light-medium sweet flavor with quite tasty fruit character, some tropical aspects, citrus, hints of grass, pale malts. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Well balanced on the finish, more dynamic fruit notes, mellow bitterness. Pretty damn drinkable.

Cask @ Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Wetherspoon Beer Festival Ale. Golden with a creamy head. Has a light malt-hop aroma and a balanced taste with the hops slightly more apparent.

Cask at the Bear (JDW), Maidenhead. Amber with a loose white head; citrusy aroma; wheaty body with a touch of citrus in the mouth; and a crisp, clean, grassy finish. Not typically Czech, but rather good.
