(Cask at Kitty’s, 20140911) The beer poured amber and almost clear. Its head was small, white and it lasted. Aroma had fruitiness, earth and sweetness. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were grass, earth, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was earthy, herbal and bitter. A decent but a bit harsh hoppy pale ale

Cask at Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Dark orange colour. Thick, bubbly, off white head. Sweet malty aroma, with thick, ripe orange marmalade thing going on. Juicy, bitterness on the palate. Decent.

Cask at Whitelocks, Leeds. Pours clear gold, foamy white head. Light citrus aromas, some pine. Taste has a good malt backbone, lots of hops, but it never over-loads. Lovely.
