500ml bottle from the Inn Beer shop, Southport. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of caramel, butterscotch, light herbal hops. Taste is nettles, caramel. Building, if slightly soapy, bitterness on the finish. Good body.

Cask @ Victoria Cross, Liverpool. Copper-amber with a creamy head. Has a sugary-hop nose with a grittier taste in this respect. There’s a hint of fruit in here too but certainly in the background to its balanced character as there’s a small maltiness to this ale as well.

Cask, gravity dispensed, at the Spring Festival at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. Amber with a ring of white head; floral aroma; and gentle spice hops. A rather basic and straightforward bitter.

50cl bottle, a gift from my daughter after a business trip to Southport. A bright straw coloured pour with a scummy looking white head; musty citrus aroma; caramel malt taste; with a toasty finish with a herbal bitterness. A fairly standard golden ale.

Cask gravity at Berry Walmer. Clear gold thin white head. Nice hoppy golden ale. A little thin on the malt but attractive stingy hop finish.
