Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. Golden amber with a cream head; crisp with a sweet grainy flavour and a lightly bitter finish. Very drinkable, but rather summery in style.

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise, London. Pours clear, orange-copper with a foamy, white head. Some fruits on the nose, faint malts and grass. Flavor is pretty sweet with a bit of sugar, mild dough malts, light toast. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Dryish finish, bit more sugar, touch of cocoa, but very faint. Bitterness of earth and grass.. Decent.

Half, gravity, well kept at Bree Louise. Copper coloured body with a slight haze. Naked surface. Malt-fruity nose. Chocolate malts and hoppy fruits in flavour. Spiced bitter ending. Satisfying (London, 19.03.2011).

Cask-conditioned at the Coronation, Bristol 09/02/10. Copper coloured with a decent white head. Aroma of cereal malts, apricots and grassy hops. Flavour had plenty of weetabix, more summer fruit and a decent dry finish. Enjoyable.

Cask conditioned at Cockney Pub, Århus
Hazy amber color; creamy head. It has a medium strength hop aroma, partially fruity in the beginning. Smooth mouthfeel, it has a mild caramel aroma, a light paper-like impression, and the bitterness raises at the end to normal levels; simple. The final is correct, bitter enough and balanced. Quite easy.

From cask at Charlies. Pours slight hazy orange with a light orange head. Aroma is mild malty. Malty and light bitter flavour into the finish. Ends with a light growing bitterness. Light fruity note in addition.
