Cask at The Pennsylvanian (Wetherspoons), Rickmansworth, Herts. A golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, citrus, orange aroma and taste. Not particularly festive but OK for £1.75 a pint.

18th Dec 2018, cask half-pint in The Coracle, Ironbridge Shropshire. Golden body, white crown. Hops rule the brew aroma and taste wise, citrusy and resinous hop aroma (weak). Flavour gets more bitter as the beer warmed a little, I still struggle with some Oakham beers (maybe the yeast culture), this was fine though.

Cask @ Salopian, the pub. Pours clear gold, small white head. Citrus rules the nose, presenting itself in a crisp, pithy, grassy way in the character itself. Lots of grapefruit, touch dry. Ok.

Cask handpull at The Montefiore Arms Ramsgate. Clear gold lasting white head. Yes citrusy. Just the right side of ascetic. Quite aggressive lime hop . Dryish on the finish. Light bitterness. More dryness than bitterness. Lime definitely. Malts are ok just enough to hold the hops. Yep fine.
