Keg at The Round, Keswick. Lightly hazed gold with a fluffy white head. Floral with lemon notes. Custard creams come through in the finish. Sweetish but quite pleasant.

Large foamy white head left a froth on a chill hazy golden coloured body. Dank hops, citrus & light malt aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp clean back. Pale malt, citrus, pine, tropical fruit & confectionery tastes with tangy finish. Nice.

Cask @ Tap and Can. Clear gold appearance with a comfortable white head atop. Aroma is fresh with soft lemon hints. Taste is light, fresh, balanced with gentle floral shades. Simplistic but satisfying.

Many thanks to Simontomlinson. Smooth mild beginning. Easy to drink, slightly sweetish with a grainy and nice bittered back. Fruity floral in the back.

Bottle from Beer Ambleside. Appearance - golden with a nicely proportioned white head. Nose - grassy, flowers, custard. Taste - creamy lemon and light custard again. Palate - creamy and light bodied. Dry, fairly balanced finish. Overall - a solid citizen.
