Cask hand pull at the Blue Blazer. It pours clear yellow with a medium sturdy white head. The aroma is toasty grain, hay, cereal and a bit of lemonade. The taste is dry, toasty grain, light bitterness, candied lemon, lemonade, slightly soapy and biscuit. Light+ body and fine carbonation. Nice condition. A fairly run of the mill golden ale, but drinkable nonetheless.

Colchester Beer Festival. Cask. Light haze on this gold beer, no head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has modest fine carbonation. Light dry malts. Mild pithy orange hops, trace of fresher orange. Mild spice. Light dry finish. Fine.

Cask @ Old Wellington, Manchester. Nicholson’s Beer Festival. Golden with a small head. Floral in nose and taste, although I don’t think the beer was in great condition in all honesty. Has a sweetness attached. Has a nice easy drinking texture.

From cask at The Bank, Manchester, with KL, EH and AKH. Claer pale straw colour. Diminishing, off-white head. Moderate aroma, with hints og lemon and lime marmelade. Similar taste ,with some lemon biscuits. A bit waterish.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 3/3/2015. Pale, clear, gold with a slight, white, head. Crisp, lager-like malts, a hint of straw and tangerine fruit. Finish was moderately bitter. Fine.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - hazy golden with a proportionate head. Nose - lemon and toffee. Taste - more toffee over lemony malt. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a very traditional style pale ale. Modern ipa fans may find the toffee slightly unexpected. But it’s good.
