Here's one which we think will make an incredibly good pub partner…like the friend that's such ace company you completely forget what time is! With a light malt bill, and hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo & Magnum it's a hoppy, fruity, delightful afternoon hijacker!

On cask up the White Lady.
Appearance - golden and clear with a nicely proportioned white head.
Nose - lemon, cereal and candied orange.
Taste - more citrus, some red apple and a cakey conclusion.
Palate - light to medium bodied, creamy middle and fresh finish.
Overall - good pint of cask.

Cask at Calverts Court, Stockport. Pours golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is basically floral hops, and these are to the fore in the mouth as well. There’s plenty of citrus, oranges and melon plus hints of grapefruit. Gets more bitter as it goes on, leading to a somewhat dry finish. Its reasonable.
