Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. 3.4%. Mid-gold with the tiniest of haze as it settles. Small off-white head. Suggestions of grapefruit, tangerine, passionfruit and pineapple in the scent. Taste starts a little sweet with floral and tropical fruit notes, but turns quite bitter quite quickly. Notes of honey and more tropical fruit in the finish. It feels a trifle artificial but otherwise good.

Cask at Telford’s Warehouse, Chester (at 3.4%). Pours a pale straw with a small almost white head and good lacing. The aroma is yeasty with citrus and a hint of floral hops. In the mouth it starts off sweet and tangy before rapidly become quite bitter with citrus and grapefruit flavours. Later on floral hops come through as well, plus a hint of spice Finish is dry and quite sticky. It’s OK, but there isn’t really much to it.

Cask at the Craven Arms, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with an everlasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a crisp, fresh, yeasty, citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Impressive and very sessionable.

Cask at the Agricultural Hotel, Penrith. Sweet, resinous and surprisingly full-bodied for the body. Lemon, clementine and a touch of peach. Just enough fresh grassy drying bitterness in the finish to balance it. In my previous rate I was bemoaning the paucity of session bitters in UK pubs these days; maybe if more of the golden ales that have taken over were as good as this one I wouldn't miss bitters so much.
