Cask at Borough Arms, Crewe. Pours golden yellow with a medium sized foamy almost white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and citrus in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet but with an underlying unpleasant taste that I can’t put my finger on. Flavour has malts, citrus, mango and grapefruit with hints of melon and tropical fruit coming through later leading to a somewhat dry finish. This is OK, but a bit “meh”.

Cask @Luppolo Station (Rome). Dorata, velata, schiuma bianca media, discretamente persistente. Al naso note di biscotto, leggero erbaceo, fruttato, floreale. In bocca è equilibrata, attacco maltato leggero con chiusura amara delicata. Corpo leggero, carbonazione soft. Ok.

Cask-conditioned at the Bon Accord, Glasgow 2 October 2018. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Leafy hops, rather dense, chewy malts, some hedgerow fruits and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Cask pint in The Moon Under Water in Wolverhampton on 16th June 2018. Creamy white head on a clear golden body. Not a lot going on really, light blend of malty sweetness and mild hop bitterness. Pleasant enough but lacks depth, even if it's only 3.8% ABV.
