On tap (cask) at the Babbington JDW, Derby Tuesday 14th October 2025 in the company of Dad and Pauline. Pours clear gold in colour, clear as a bell with a mid sized white head. Crisp, clean and mildly hippy, nicely defined beer, fruity but a very good bitterness. Enjoyable and another beer in excellent condition here in this spoons.

Wetherspoon 2025 Autumn Beer Festival. Ale#16 of 26 untried possibilities at the fest. Clear golden-blonde with a small glow. Easy mild-hoppy session, not too flavoursome but fair in this respect and its texture is decent.

Cask at London & North Western, Birmingham. Pours golden amber with a small foamy off-white head and excellent lacing. The aroma is mainly malts with a touch of citrus. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy but with a little sharpness too. Flavours of citrus, floral hops and biscuits. Some spicy bitterness comes through later leading to a fairly dry finish. This is decent.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), served in great condition. A crystal-clear gold brew with a good white head. Fresh zingy lemon and lime is balanced against a little caramel. Fresh, tasty and enjoyable. Good effort from Orkney.
