Golden beer with a white head. Smell and taste are both light fruit. Maybe something tropical like a touch of mango.

Cask @ The Bank, Manchester. Light golden coloured ale with a creamy head. Hopped with some malt evident in its nose. Fairly well balanced though in both respects with a crisp medium body.

Cask at the Champion, Hyde Park NW, 31/03/15. Clear pale golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is pale malt, melon, citric peel, light bread dough. Taste comprises floral notes, straw, melon, tangerine, soft bread. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. Ok offering, not really the hop presence for an IPA nor the ABV but perhaps a touch more than your typical ESB, English Pale perhaps, have had cask APA’s of this ilk !?

Cask-conditioned at the Barley Mow, Bristol February 2015. Golden in colour, with a frothy, white, head. Aroma of tropical fruit, with some grassy hops. Flavour had more tropical fruits, some slightly spicy malts and a decent, dryish, finish. Good.

On cask at the Haymarket. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Slight haze. Nose - tropical fruit such as banana and papaya. Luscious and some citrus lurking. Taste - a tug of war between citrus and tropical fruit. The banana and mango take early advantage but bitter orange has the final word. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - lovely and interesting.
