Cask at Quakerhouse, Darlington. Clear yellow gold colour, bubbly white head and aroma of malt & lemon citrus. Taste is light malt with a floral lemon & grapefruit citrus bitterness, and slight biscuit notes. Light bodied, low carbonation, dry hoppy bitter finish. Quite drinkable golden ale.

Cask @ JDW Elgin 251112
Light amber, clear, good dense white head, good lacing
Aroma - sweet fruity pale malts, citrus hops, grapefruit, soft hop resins
Taste - citrus hops, soft grapefruit, touch of orange zest, background of fruity light caramel malts, bitterness increases towards the finish. Not a complicated beer but easy going and refreshing with a good flavour
Palate - medium body, good texture, not cloying, fresh mouthfeel. Tangy citrus medium bitter palate. Finish - nice bitter hops, soft grapefruit, fairly bitter linger, cleans off palate
Overall - Good flavoured pale ale, great condition here.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Amber with a ring of white head; grapefruit aroma; fruity, sweet, grapefruit flavour; and a long, dry, finish. A rather one-dimensional Golden Ale.

Cask at Shakespeare Head Spoons. Very drinkable golden ale. Good mouthfeel good condition good hops. Just a little watery on the finish. Could be bitterer. Re rate yes mouthfeel still best thing about it. Bit perfumed just needs a bitterer finish. i want to like it more than i do due to the mouthfeel and condition
