Can, with nitro capsule. Golden color. Just a hint of apple in the aroma. Mediium bodied. Malty flavor with some flowery hops and cake dough. Butterscotch. Surprisingly drinkable.

The Kingsbridge Inn, Bourton-on-the-water. Keg. Clear gold beer, good creamy white head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, reasonable superfine carbonation. Fluffy malts, quite thin really. A touch of bitterish citrus and a touch of bitterish floralness. Light finish. Inoffensive but then there isn't much to it.

On keg at Durham City FC - lots of good looks, but it is just another nitro bland with little character.

Smooth crisp golden ale with a thick creamy head on it. Has a fruity pale ale aroma and some of this is carried through in its taste.

Keg at the British Legion, Oldbury. Poured yellow gold with a medium head. Aroma was honey and pale malt. Taste started with honey and had a dusty, creamy malt finish. Quite drinkable for a smooth.

can 50cl, from supermarket in magaluf, spain. quite faint aroma i think it has sweet notes. golden colour small thick vanilla colored foam. sweet (vanilla / sugar / faint corn. nice sweet) dominates. almost no bitterness, however a little bitter in the aftertaste. nice brew, but quite sweet. good sessio beer if you are into the sweet ones.

On tap at White Lion, Tenterden, Kent. Walked into a Marston’s pub and there were 4 handpumps all with clips turned the wrong way round which was disappointing. This wasn’t totally awful, better than some nitro bitters I’ve had, had some mouthfeel, some light fruits and some hop sting on finish. Served way too cold, but actually relatively pleasant if blandish.
