Hand pulled pint into a UK pint sleeve: on 25th Apr 2012 in my local Wetherspoons. The body colour was pale gold, dull but not cloudy: on top sat a small white covering of foam which tried to leave some lacing on the glass as the beer level sank. Floral/summer fruit nose although nothing was strong enough to feature or stand out heavily in the mild/weak aroma. The taste was a surprise because it had depth and flavour a lot deeper than the smells: malty caramel hints arrived along with a citrusy hop feel, summer fruits (like the smell) also added to the overall enjoyment of the taste. Would have prefered it to have been a bit darker and thicker in the mouthfeel but otherwise a fine beer.

Cask, Pumphouse, Liverpool. Pale gold looks with a meek white head. Pretty restrained aroma. Flavour was ok with some juicy citrus alongside a pale malt spine. Some half decent hop bitterness towards the finish. Much better than anticipated

Half, served fresh from cask at JDWs Counting House. Nitro creamy, white head. Cloudy golden body. Lightly spiced fruits to the nose. Fruity taste alongside hints of honey and plums. Subdued bitter finish. Alright, however, a bit bland mouthfeel (Glasgow, 12.04.2012).

Cask, handpump at The Geldart, Cambridge Sun 15th April 2012 with Loz Juicy, fruity beer with a lasting bitterness that whilst not that challenging was still, good. The finish is quite dry, there is citrus now showing and this is quite tangy. Appearance is gold with white head, looks great. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
