Cask at the Prince Albert, Ely. Deep, dark gold, with a ring of loose white head. Scent of orange peel, cherries, pine, a bit of astringency. Mostly sweet fruity taste, but a soapy hint near the finish takes the experience down a notch. Reasonably bitter aftertaste. Fuller palate than you’d expect from this style and ABV. A mixed bag but mostly a very positive experience.

From cask at Pembury Tavern. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is peachy, citrusy and crisp hoppy. Smooth fruity, light soapy. Bitter and lingering citrusy. Bitter and citrusy finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 1/07/2012. Deep gold with a slight white head. Like others, I found this had a corny, dusty edge to it, with some fruit sweetness and bitter finish. Not a beer I would rush to try again.

Cask at the Pembury Tavern. Pours clear, honey-yellow with a faint, film head. Sharp hay and grass hop aroma. Flavor has a bit of sweetness, light caramel, some hammy roast (oddly enough), and delicate, straw bitterness. Light bodied with tingly carbonation. Finishes nicely with understated breadiness, light warmth and some subtle, earth and grass bitters. Good stuff.

Cask, at the Oakdale Arms, London N4, UK on 3rd June 2009. Hoppy, pale, bitter ale, light body and a weak, white head which quickly reduces. The beer was on good condition at the Oakdale, and strong hop notes in the aroma precede a main hoppy and slightly citrus fruity kick. Condition (despite virtually no head) conveys a medium palate of soft carbonation, and a lasting dry finish ensues. A rewarding pint.
