Cask @ The Salopian, Shrewsbury. Pours a misty gold, thin white head. Aroma is grassy, fruity. Taste is, sadly, a bit lifeless.. glimpses of soft toffee fade too easily. End of the barrel perhaps.

Cask@Charlies Bar, Copenhagen. Golden pour with a medium creamy white head. Fresh refreshing summer golder ale this, nicely balanced hop tones, lemony citrus on the palate the most prominent. Very easy drinking/session-able indeed. Lovely.

Cask. Refreshing hop aroma, grassy and piney. Hazy yellow colour. Small stable white head. The flavour is nice and refreshing. Good hoppiness, citric with a good nutty note. Excellent quenching beer.
