Festival pint at Hole In The Wall pub, in London, England. Cask pour. It pours a mostly clear gold color with a small white head and good retention. Hoppier than anticipated aroma. Thankfully, this pale ale flavor is not as hoppy tasting as the aroma. Like a lot of the cask ales, it's pretty mellow overall. It's also fairly "British warm." Medium-light body. Low carbonation as expected for a cask pour. Light to moderate bitterness, but it's a soft bitterness. Overall, the taste is decent, but sadly, the higher serving temperature is a bit of a turn-off.

[October 2022] Very slightly hazy pale gold with a frothy/creamy white head and a soft citrus nose. Has a sharp little citrus kick up front, light biscuit malt with subtle tropical fruit in the background and a hint of dry bitterness.

Cask @ Foxglove, Islington. Golden with a creamy-frothy head. Has a candy-sweet tropical fruitiness, which is less stated in its hoppier nose.

Cask at Albion, Kingston. Nil aroma. Light gold. Thin bubbly white head. Light bitter. Some spice. A fruity sweet citrus edge. Light bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long dry finish. Bland - but would it have more life on keg?

Third, gravicask, shared with Finn at Twickenham Beer and Cider Festival. Clear golden body, filmy layer, clingy lacing. Ripe citrus smell, hints of peaches. Citrus and peaches to the taste profile followed by leafy hops bitterness towards the ending. Fair enough. (24.10.2019).
