Cask at Calverts Court, Stockport. Pours a golden sraw with a medium sized foamy off-white head and excellent lacing. The aroma is mainly floral hops with hints of oranges and citrus. In the mouth it is juicy and very briefly slightly sweet before the bitterness of floral hops comes through to swamp it. Grains and cirus with hints of grapefruit leading to a slightly bitter binish. This is reasonable.

Historic check-in

Handpull cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Dark gold, clear with a bit of loose white head and some lacing. Grassy aroma with light notes of lemon curd. Taste is nicely balanced, a trifle sweet at first but then weighed down with a hoppy bitterness. It's a fairly standard golden, but it's a well-made one.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Station, Oakengates on 19th Nov 2014: this pub majors on Yorkshire beers here in Shropshire. Poured a clear, clean golden colour with a thin and fading white head. Strange eggy smell at first, then a fruitier ester took over. Citrus hints emerged too. The eggy aroma did the beer no favours and it almost ruined the tasting for me, luckily I soldered on and the beer improved a bit. Hop led brew with not much malt action to talk about.

Cask @ The Stubbing Wharf in Hebden Bridge. Golden with a smooth head. Its aroma has a small sweet hop base to it, although its flavour is light at best - however this is more than drinkable and a fine session ale.

On Cask at Dronfield Arms - Yellow with a small white head. Fruity aroma with a little citrus and a little buttery note. Sweet fruity flavour with pear notes, some grassy hops and a bitter finish. An okay beer.
