Cask@Market Porter, London. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, wood, malts, some toffeeish notes as well as some mild floral and bittery notes. Flavour is being quite much the same. A well balanced and fruity brew.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Light, clear yellow pour with a wimpy head. Great aroma, hay, mild cracker, lemon zest. Flavor is modestly sweet, lightly fruity, hints of elderflower and spices, lightly bitter with hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance to finish, zesty citrus, floral hops and some straw malts. Nice stuff.

(Cask at Market Porter, London) I liked this one. The citricness, especially in the taste, fit nicely in. Perhaps this was a bit one dimensional but drinkability was really good and the beer didn’t turn boring at any phase - at least when drinking only a half pint.

Cask at GBBF08. Weak citric aroma, not really lemony. Hazy yellow colour. Small white head. Good citric flavour though, some bitterness, not too much. Lemony aftertaste. Quite refreshing.

Cask at the Gig House (JDW), Reading. Hazy straw colour with a creamy white head; real lemon aroma; light lemony citrus flavour, again tasting real rather than just citric acid, with a good underlying bitterness, and a touch of grapefruit to the finish. A refreshing summer beer.
