Weak appearance and character, although this malty effort does have a hint of aftertaste.

JDW Fest. Clear gold beer, residual white head. Light palate, very moderate carbonation. Slightly dry. A little pale malt. Reasonable hops, trace of citrus with an ok bitter kick. Fairly well balanced. Finishes dry. Alright.

Cask at the Gig House (JDW), Wokingham. Hazy amber with a loose white head; fruity aroma; fruity taste - but also chalky and with a hint of iodine; then a woody bitterness to finish. Not sure about this one.

Cask @ Counting House, JDW. Clear golden colour, no head. Aroma is non-descriptive, except some grassy notes. Flavour is light malted and skunky. Not good at all.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear, light gold pour with a faint head. Doughy malts in the nose, light sweat, faint fruit. Medium sweet flavor, plenty of dough, some toffee or caramel, light bitterness of citrus. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Sweet bread finish, fruity - maybe strawberry - merengue, more dough, not much bitterness. Drinkable.

Cask handpull at Sir John Oldcastle JDW Farringdon. Paleish gold with lasting beige head. Its an ok slightly viscuit golden ale. Some faint citrus flavour on finish. Perhaps a bit of butter in here. Bit dull.
