Cask at Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. Clear light gold, thin white head. Has a zesty tangy citrus, some herbal notes but some stale cardboard notes. I'd be surprised if it wasn't kept well at a pub such as this but you never know. Mouthfeel with decent, nice slickness and session quality.

Cask pint at Ryries Bar. Appearance - pale lemon, very murky to begin with but it becomes remarkably transparent. Dense white head. Nose - grapefruit and muesli. Taste - lemon, grapefruit and generally bready. Palate - light bodied, some cask creaminess and a fresh zestiness on the finish. Overall - just the ticket on a lovely warm day like this.
