Cask @ Lord Clyde. Dorée, col blanc. Bière dans la lignée des bitter anglaise avec un houblonnée Cascade et houblons UK natif qui donne une petite note de fruité et fleuri. Retrouve un effet de malt pâle qui garde un caractère marqué de grains et léger fini citronné noble qui reprend le dessus sur le côté du Cascade.

Cask @ Abbey Inn, Kinloss [150313]
Golden, clear, thin dense white head
Aroma of soft citrus, touch of minerals, soft sweet pale malt, bit of sulphur
Taste of soft bitter english hops, light minerals, bit of sulphur, hint of floral hop, light caramel malt, a bit meh but not too bad
Palate - light to medium body, fairly oily, light bitter palate with some sweetness in the malts. Finish as main flavour, clean finish
Overall - Hardly a paradise ale - just an ordinary sort of golden ale / bitter, not keen on the mineral tinge, average

[Cask at the Hoboblin, High Wycombe] Amber-gold with a small white head. There’s a lemon flavour with floral hints, but a dirty finish. Unpleasant by the end.

(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 11 Aug 2007) Amber colour with off-white head. Fruity nose with distinct notes of apricots and mandarin. Fruity taste with apricots, mandarin and floral hops in a fairly dryish finish. Tasty, drinkable, hardly exciting.

Cask. Golden colour, white, creamy, semi-stable head. Aroma is fresh and slightly acidic. Flavour is also refreshing and acidic, but a little too sweet for my liking in this type of beer. Dry bitterness in aftertaste.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with a small beige head. The aroma is very fruity and flowery. The flavor is flowery with hints of caramel and a quite dry hoppy finish. The body is light.
