Cask, third of a pint in my local Wetherspoons on 24th March 2017. Golden/Amber body, clear and clean looking, decent white crown of foam on top. Nose was a mix of oranges and light maltiness, the taste followed the same lines really. Liked it.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - golden amber with a nice lacy head. Nose - orange barley sweets. Taste - more orange notes and crunchy wholemeal bread at the back. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - decent.

Cask at Moon Under The Water. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is quite fragrant, sweet and as Ian says - Turkish delight, toasted grain and spice. The taste is crisp, dry, sort of spicy, toasted grain, earthy, woody, underlying sweetness, floral, rose water and slight soappiness. Finish is drying. Medium body and fine carbonation. Interesting, but I am not convinced the balance works. Okay for a half.

Cask handpull at The County Hotel Ashford JDW. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Malty aroma fruity like turkish delight. Decent in the mouth. Some lemon curd flavour later on. Some dryness. Not bitter. It’s ok actually and i ended up quite liking the turkish delight flavour.
