Cask at The Crown Hotel, Wetheral. It pours clear yellow - blonde with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, fresh, fragrant, lemon parfait, floral, toasty grains and biscuit. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, mellow bitterness, fragrant, floral, grass, lemon parfait, lemon cheesecake and a touch of spice with a drying finish. Light body and average carbonation. Easy going and quenching in this damn heat.

Bottle from Beer Ambleside. Appearance - golden with a snow white head. Nose - light biscuit and caramel, with just a touch of lemon. Taste - again mainly biscuit and caramel, but again lemon just sticking its head around the door. Palate - light bodied, dry finish. Overall - decent.

On cask at Alexander ’ s in Kendal. Appearance - cloudy golden orange with a nice head. Nose - grassy with meadow flowers too. Taste - interesting resin and vegetable notes. A hint of orange too. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - enjoyable and fairly complex for the low ABV.
