Hand-pulled pint in ‘The 7 Star’: Carey St London, on 28th April 2012. Struggled to enjoy this to be honest; it looked OK, an orange hue to the light brown body with a fairly good head of off-white bubbles perched on top. The nose was flowery and fruity with lightly baked bread yeast in the mix. The taste was also on the flowery/fruity side with a mini-hop bitterness towards the end of each sip. Medium bodied but lacking something: too floral for my taste buds.

Cask @ Akkurat. Dried apricots... sort of dark fruitiness... flour... fresh grape in the aftertaste... a small touch of tigerbalsam... Refreshing and quite complex.

Euston Tap. Light haze on this gold beer. Tidy white head. Palate is smooth and dry with a little fine carbonation. Light crisp malts supports reasonable hop. A little repressed orange - grapefruit citrus. Minerals. Finishes dry. Nicely balanced.
