Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence, 05/05/13. Clear pale golden with a thin white head. Nose carries pale malts, summer fruit, touch of wheat, citrus. Taste comprises pale malt, wheat, light sugar, citrus notes, summer fruit - pretty much marries the aroma. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dryish finish. Ok - drinkable but on the bland side.

[Cask at the William Robert Loosley (JDW), Wycombe] Gold, slight fizz, small white head. Hay, an industrial lager-like taste, a hint of lemon and then loads of cardboard. Very poor effort from what is normally a reliable brewery.

Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW. Clear yellow, white foam head. Floral, citric hops, some crispy malts in the nose. Lightly sweet, dry cereal, biscuits, straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Crisp, relatively well balanced finish, more dry malts and some grassy, faintly citrusy hops. Not bad.

Cask conditioned at The Lord Rosebery, Scarborough. Served a bit too warm. ABV was 4.2%. Pale golden colour, like a pilsener. Moderate creamy head, nice lacing. Pleasant wheaty and citrussy aroma. Moderate hoppy flavour.

Cask handpull at Pommeler’s Rest, JDW, Tower Bridge. Pale gold, slight haze, thin white head. Cardboard. Smells a bit of stale cereal. Tastes of chewing on cardboard with a bit of an English citrus golden beer behind it. I mean it’s a good beer if you got rid of the wheat.

Cask conditioned at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. A golden, almost flat, pint with a ring of white head; a trace of a floury aroma; thin and watery in the mouth with biscuit and floral flavours, leading to a citric bitter finish. Overall this seemed to be a rather delicate beer, and was probably overshadowed by the ones I’d sampled earlier. So this is a good candidate for a re-rate in the future.
