Cask at the King and Castle, Tourist Town Zentrum, 02/04/16. Clear golden yellow with a well appointed off white cap. Nose is sweet malt, grain, light noble hop tunes, straw, faint green apple. Taste comprises lihgt bread, more sweet malt, grain, light honey, caramel wafer. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a lick of booze and a slight bitter edge. Not sure how you can drain so much flavour from a 6.6% brew ... totally whelming!

Cask @ Shay Wake, Shaw. Golden with a small head. Has a strength with a light fruitiness evident too. A little disappointing, but I have picked up the bottled version too, so maybe my view will change for the better sometime in the future.
