Handpull cask at the Duke's Arms, Woodford near Thrapston Northants. Lighter side of gold and clear with a small white head. Lemony aroma, hay and weeds, toast. More of an English golde than and ESB maybe? Bittersweet taste, lemon rind and maybe a touch of white pepper. Bitterness in the finish is fairly full on. Light to medium body and soft carbonation. Not a great beer but being in near perfect condition probably helps.

Cask at Dragon Inn, Worcester. Pours golden yellow with a small frothy almost white head and good lacing. There’s citrus, kiwi and lemongrass in the aroma. In the mouth it is strongly bitter, but with a little underlying sweetness too. The first flavour to hit is gooseberries followed by grassy hops and hints of citrus which increase rapidly. Some tropical fruits come through later leading to a dry finish. This is reasonable but too much citrus for my taste. Also, I would call it an IPA rather than any sort of bitter.

Bottle from Warwick Real Ale. Appearance - golden amber with a slightly off-white fluffy head. Nose - lemon, grassiness and soft malt note. A hint of caramel. Taste - a hint of orange but mainly soft malt, with caramel edging in. Palate - light bodied, malt sweetness and just a little hop bitterness. Overall - would have liked it to be a little cleaner on the finish, but not bad.
