Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol October 2016. Deep gold in colour with a moderately sized, off-white, head. Aroma of citrus fruits, yeasty malts and leafy. Flavour had tangerine and lemon fruit, sweetish malts and a hint of sherbet leading to a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Cask at Canary Wharf Spoons. It pours clear golden - amber with a medium white head. The aroma is floral, hay, biscuit and stone fruits. The taste is pretty sweet and granny upfront, biscuit, floral, spice, lemon peel, with a bitter - sweet finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Perhaps a touch sweet overall. A fair golden ale, but it wouldn’t stand out in a crowd.

Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW - London. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds dry pale bread, light hay. Light sweet flavour with simple pale, bready malt character, touches of lemon rind. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty well balanced to finish, with more citrus rind, pale bread, some grainy biscuits and hay. Not bad.
