Quite thin. And unexciting.

Cask at The Briar Rose, Birmingham. Clear gold with smooth looking white head. Nice orange, apricot and pineapple fruity character with light biscuit malts and hint of a floral and leafy hop. Moderate sweetness and bitterness and nice balance. Smooth mouthfeel. Likable cask APA.

Rocky white head stayed on a chill-hazy amber coloured body. Pine, resinous, malt & bubble gum aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a short sharp finish. Malt, bubble gum, herbal, weed & peach tastes with a tangy hoppy citrus finish. Nicely balanced.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a hazy straw with a small foamy off-white head that is slow to settle. The aroma is mainly floral hops, with some traces of lemon. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy with main flavours being floral hops and oranges, plus hints of malts and some underlying caramel. Finish is slightly dry. This is reasonable.
