[Cask at the Ribs of Beef, Norwich] Amber with a moderate off-white head. Sweet grain fudge at first, leading to a growing fruitiness (orange and stewed apple) and a lingering dusty straw bitterness in the finish. A pleasant enough session bitter that falls a little short of the high standards that Adnams have been setting of late.

Cask @ Castle Tavern, Inverness
Amber, clear, thin white head, some lacing
Aroma - light spicy hop, some lemonade, slight gingerbread
Taste - Some Shandy Bass (!), lemon citrus, soft spicy, soft gingerbread, bit peppery, touch of caramel malts, soft biter hop
Palate - soft carb, thinnish body. Finish as main flavour, quite dry, light bitter tail
Overall - Refreshing - it just reminded me of Shandy Bass, with that hint of ginger

Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Pours clear, yellow-orange with a frothy white head. Aroma holds some tangy melon, orange, wet grass and toasty dough. Light sweet flavor with faint spice reminiscent of ginger, mild doughy malts, some orange rind. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly dry to finish, lightly sweet with a nice hop edge of grass and citrus, soft ginger essence, some biscuits and dough. A pretty solid effort here. Lots of character given the low ABV, and the balance is right on. Nicely done.
