Cask at the Euston Tap - London. Pours perfectly clear yellow with a tight, creamy white head. Doughy white bread in the nose. Light sweet flavor, biscuity pale malts, straw, some cereal. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly sticky to finish, more doughy biscuits, faint corny cereal, mellow straw bitterness. Hints of lemon rind. Simple but easygoing sessioner.

On cask at Nerax North. Pours a deep crystal clear golden color with a small bubbly white head. Smells of bitter earthy hops with barely enough malt to back it up. Taste is slightly fruity with hints of apricot or some such fruit. Lots of bitter earthy hops jump out at me. Medium body, light level of carbonation with a slick mouthfeel. I enjoyed this one as a light easy drinking I could pound these all night type of brews.

Cask, gravity at Harbury Beer Festival, Harbury, Warwickshire, 03.09.11 Pours mid gold with a few stray bubbles. Touch of tngy fruit some watery marmalade, medium bitterness. Its not bad at all, touch more dryness and a little less sweetness and it could have been a belter. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
