Cask at Hole in the Wall, Waterloo. Clear dark amber. Foamy white head sticks to the rim. Aroma has sweet caramel with a sour edge. And veg. Flavourwise it's tangy and sour. Berries. Underlying watery malts. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. This is a mild?! Would've thought it was a shitty Gold.

Cask at Reading Beer Festival. Goldish with a thin white head. Thin body. Light wheat and coriander seed with a little unpleasant sourness and a touch of soap. Something wrong here perhaps? Grim, whatever the reason.

Hand-pulled half-pint (as Brentwood White Elephant) on 30th Sep 2016 at The Crown Inn Oakengates. Golden pour, full white head. No coriander could be found in my beer, just a pleasant, slightly hoppy blend that was both thirst quenching and easy to drink. Nice.
