10th Sep 2017: cask pint in The Pheasant, Wellington Shropshire. Straw blonde body, white topping. Yet another light coloured citrus flavoured beer from a UK brewer. I am fed up with them, others are not though, so they keep getting brewed. This one was no worse (or better) than all the rest. Thirst quenching enough, but not my thing. Scored objectively.

Cask at GBBF 2006. A hazy dark yellow beer with a bubbly off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of sulphur and flowers. The flavor is very floral and with strong notes of honey - a bit too much honey for my liking, it also has lighter notes of oranges, and a bitter bite to the tongue.
