Cask at 2011 Deeside Beer Festival. It pours hazy straw yellow, with a very thin bubbly white head and soft carbonation. The nose is hay, grass, pine and white bread. The taste is hay, tangy lemon, lime, orange zest and soap. It is very light, perhaps too watery in the mouth. It is easy to drink, but this is definitely not my favourite style.

Cask handpull at Hobgoblin Reading. Pale gold slight haze no head. Slight yeast aroma. Some apricot and citrus fruits. Easy drinking. Could be in better condition. Some hop bite on finish.
