Keg @ The Palatine, Morecambe. Golden with a head. Hoppy with interesting floral biscuit notes. Crisp but this was the keg version.

On the bitter side

Big frothy head on a slightly hazy deep golden beer, exhibiting plenty of carbonation, and offering a floral, fruity nose with subtle toffee malt lurking below. Tastewise it's similar, with the malt hiding a little, and a nice subtle bitterness coming through in the finish

Brilliant white foamy head left a froth on an unclear pale amber coloured still body. Pine, malt & hoppy aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a thinner lively back. Bitter, nectarine, grapefruit & light malt tastes with tangy citrus finish.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A straw coloured pour with a tight white head; grainy aroma; strong grassy herbal taste with some sweetness; then a drier finish with a pithy grapefruit bitterness. Odd, but rather moreish.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Aroma is a mix of malt and citrus. In the mouth there is an initial sharpness, with grapefruit to the fore, followed by fruitiness of oranges and bitterness of hops. They come and go at random. Finish is yucky bitter lemon. Bit of a mess really, I would have expected better from a solid brewery like Lancaster.

Cask, third, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast To Coast Bar. Misty golden body, filmy layer, clingy lacing. Floral aromas, moderate. Ripe citrus flavours followed by a drying end with fruity bitterness. Satisfying. (Day 3 of the festival, 24.01.2020).
