Cask at the Haymarket. Pours clear golden with a thick, creamy white head. Aromas of light lemon, floral notes, custard. Taste is creamy, sweet. Lacks a bit of bitterness for balance. Biscuity finish.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - Nose - floral, light and maybe even a hint of custard. Taste - more of the same but generally less generous and drier. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a solid example of the style.
