Cask at the White Swan (JDW), Aylesbury before going to see the rather good Levellers gig at the Waterside theatre. Pale yellowy-gold with a white head. Grape, melon, mango and white bread. Sweetish and a little vague but quite drinkable. I always like NZ hops, so I enjoyed it. It could definitely do with a few more hops though - maybe hampered on this front by the 'Spoons price point?

Cask at North Western, Liverpool. Pours a hazy straw with medium sized foamy almost white head and good lacing. There’s a basic aroma of floral hops and tropical fruit. In the mouth it is initially slightly bitter and zesty but gradually moderates to become sweet with a creamy texture. Flavour starts off with tropical fruit, figs and floral hops with hints of citrus and mango coming later. Finish is fruity and slightly dry. This is decent.
