Cask at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours clear gold with a fine, foamy white head. Light bready malts in the nose, faint orange. Light sweet flavour, with more bread, sweet orange, citrus rind bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous in the finish, with further orangey accents, bready malts. Simple but fine.

Craft Clerkenwell. Martin T tasting. Cask shared by Tom Cadden I think? Almost clear gold beer, little bubbly white head. Light palate. Modest carbonation. A touch of semi sweet pale malt. Whisper of honey and flowers. Very mellow bitterness. Semi dry finish. A bit polite and there is cock all Bramling Cross I can taste but quite drinkable.

Cask at CBC during the Martin T tasting, thanks to Tom for getting his big jugs out! 06/06/13. Clear pale golden with a thin white head that dissipates edgeward. Nose is citrus, orange burst, hops, pale malt notes. Taste comprises orange pith, berry fruit notes, citric fruits, grass, hops. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dryish in the execution. A decent enough drop.
