Cask at Great Western, Wolverhampton. Pours golden yellow with a medium sized off-white head and good lacing. There’s an attractive aroma of honey, summer fruits and hints of citrus. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy with just a smidgen of bitterness. Flavour has floral hops, malts and honey with a little herbal influence coming through after a while. Finish is slightly dry. This is decent, nice and refreshing.

Cask @ The Dolphin. Pours clear gold, white head, room temp. Light honey aroma. Taste is thin, extremely watery, odd sweetness than vaguely resembles honey I guess. Pale malt. Pretty awful.
