Weak texture, and unnaturally crisp because of it with a sweet element in the taste.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours clear, vibrant gold with a light, foamy head. Doughy malts in the nose, some straw and citrus. Medium sweet flavor with fine dough, light white sugar, a bit of straw bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild tangy finish, sweet with some dough and mild straw. Very basic golden ale but pleasant enough.

Cask handpull at Wetherspoons Folkestone. Don’t you just love it when they use a blank pump clip and just write the name of the beer on it? And then you ask who the brewer is and the people behind the bar have absolutely no idea. I mean they are only selling 6 beers, how difficult can it be? And this was the bar manager!! Worrying times. Fortunately Wetherspoons handy guest cask ale list pamphlet listed this. Reddish copper with thin bubbly beige head. Red fruit and some yeast. Faint caramel and yeast and fruit flavours in the mouth are pretty good. Served too cold. Finish has some earthy citrus. Some lemon in with strawberry and cherry. Still a bit thin to be really good
