Cask at Beer Hunters. Clear copper color, small off-white head. Light-bodied. Dry, woody, piney flavor. Nice hoppyness for California Common but lacks usual fruityness of this style. Simple.

Craft 100. Clapham. Cask. Clear gold beer, no head. Mild sulphur notes. Palate is dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Light pale malts, mild citric hop, touches of orange and orange peel. Dry finish. A bit wishy washy.

Cask @ Terrace NQ, Manchester. Golden with a thin head. Has a nice steam Beer styling, light and easy-drinking without feeling weak or thin. Lightly malty in both aroma and taste with a lower bitterness.
