Cask @ Old Wellington, Manchester. Yellow-blonde with a frothy head. Its spiciness is low, and its hoppy pale ale character is high. It's likeable enough for its ordinariness.

Cask at GBBF. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, lemony, lemongrass, spice, nutmeg, toasty grain, cereal and such like. The taste is dry, bitter, spice, fragrant, straw, grass, grain, tannin, wood, grapefruit and pepper with a very drying finish. Light - medium body and soft carbonation. Not sure the balance is there.
