Cask at the Metropolitan Bar, JDW - London. Pours clear, bright gold with a frothy white head. The nose holds orange, leaves, grapefruit, dirty grains. Light to medium sweet with ripe orange and pale bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with more bready malts and ripened citrus fruits. So so.

Cask at White Lady, Edinburgh. Pours clear gold with a thick white head. Muted aromas of floral hops and citrus. Some cereal notes. Taste has more of the same, light body, soft carbonation. Not bad.

Cask handpull at Victoria Spoons. Clear gold lasting white head. Ok fullish golden syrup beer. After the Purity Longhorn this isn’t as good. Some fullness juiciness in the mouth and some drying grassy hop on the finish. Fine.
