Half-pint, cask ale at Jewellers Arms. Bright amber body topped by a pearl white head leaving dotted spots on the glass. Promising aromas of leafy hops and grain. Well blended taste character, hints of green hops, grapefruit, and juicy malts. A bitter touch to the finish. Medium bodied. Likeable.(Birmingham, 25.04.2025).

On cask at Fountain Inn, Gornal - clear pale yellow body with a firm white head. Lives up to the name, lemon up front, plenty of citrus in the finish. Lemon. Yep, lemony.

Cask at Fountain Inn, Gornal - clear gold, solid head. Lots of flowery spices, syrupy saffron kulfi flavours, really quaffable.

Very slightly hazy pale gold with a bubbly white head and a soft citrus aroma. Light bodied, fresh and clean with a slightly tart stonefruit flavour, a little kick of citrus bitterness and a long, dry mildly bitter finish

Chess has suddenly made a comeback on television, although it was Channel 4 that pioneered the game on the big screen televising the Kasparov Vs Short championship matches in the 90's, hosted by Carol Vorderman! Probably as good as a bishop this beer, useful but could be sacrificed - a steady golden pale.
