Panda, courtesy of SHIG, enormous thanks! Hazy golden-orange body, off-white head. Hah, twiggy bitter notes, dry grainy, herbal. Tart taste, herbal, citric, dried out. Huh, sadly, it's a bit gone.

Slightly hazy gold with a creamy/frothy white head and a mellow fruity, floral aroma. Bit of a hop bite initially, light biscuit malt and a floral sweetness follow and a dry and slightly bitter finish

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a golden amber with a medium sized white head and good lacing. Malts and fruits are detectable in the aroma. In the mouth it is rather hoppy, but fruity hops give way to bitter ones, and then later sweet malts enter the equation too. Reasonable.
