Cask condition cellar run Ship & Mitre BF April 08. Gold with a slight haze. Belgian yeast on aroma? A bit like a Belgian blond, some peach/rose petal. Interesting and completely different to everything else I tried at this BF.

Cask at the Market Porter in London. Nice floral hop aroma. Golden amber color with a nice off-white head. Near medium body with very smooth carbonation. Good amount of floral hop over relatively light malt. Quite good drink.

[26/4/2008 - score 8/3/8/4/14 (3.7)] Cask at the North Wiltshire Beer Festival]. Very floral, with a leafy taste that for some reason made me think of ivy. Unusual, refreshing and very enjoyable. [8/9/2015 re-rate - score 8/4/8/4/17 (4.1)] Vivid clear gold with a moderate white head. strongly floral up front with refreshing lemon following through. Good rich mouthfeel, great balance of sweet, rich, dry and bitter. Incredibly refreshing and moreish. A sensational golden ale! Score entered is the average of all ratings.

Cask at the Gig House (JDW), Reading. Hazy straw colour with a creamy white head; real lemon aroma; light lemony citrus flavour, again tasting real rather than just citric acid, with a good underlying bitterness, and a touch of grapefruit to the finish. A refreshing summer beer.

Cask handpull at Ship & Mitre pub festival, Liverpool. When it said wheat beer on the festival list, I expected a golden one. When the barman poured it, I was a tad suspicious, but looking the beer up, it is described as a "dark wheat beer." Anyway my friend Adi said "it tastes like beer." For me I thought that it tasted a bit like a porter/stout with some choc. Compared with German dunkelweizens, this isn’t even close, but it is very drinkable. The wheat gives it a bit more fullness in mouth. The roasted malt doesn’t really come through. A bit like a dark roasty mild but with more mouth feel. Bizarre.

Pours up clear dark brown with tan head. The aroma starts burnt and charred to nearly ashy before it moves toward roasted and chocolate malts. Agreeable smelling aroma but on the mild side. Wow, solid Porter flavor with chocolate malts mixing with mild burnt malts, a moderate level of fruity esters and a bit of red wine tannins. To midway the chocolate malts start to shine before slowly being taken over by burnt to charred malts. The borderline ashy sensation is carried deep into the after taste.

Cask handpull at Market Porter. Pale gold with thin white head. Big honey aroma. NO huge body, some honey in the mouth. Honey sting on end. For someone who likes honey beers, this had lots of honey on end. I liked it.
