Cask ale, half-pint at the Prince of Wales. Pours a creamy white head over a misty pale golden body, upper part lacing on the glass. The aromas brings moments of tropical fruits. Hints of peaches and grapefruit to the taste buds. Mid-dry fruity ending with a little bitter support. Quite alright. (Birmingham, 25.04.2025).

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light to mid-gold with a little bit of haze, and a small beige head. Orange peel, grassy notes, maybe a little bit of honeydew on the aroma. Sweetish taste with a good touch of bitterness later on. Some honey, buttered toast, persimmon. Light carbonation on a light body. It is a decent beer, but has too much of that English golden quality to rise above just 'decent'.

Cask at the Saracen’s Head, Worcester on 12th April 2025. Clear gold with shallow, lasting whitish foam and full lacing. Zesty peel aroma. Exquisitely bitter in liquid pass and long finish. Light body and a smooth mouthfeel. Superb.

Handpull cask at the King Edward VII, Halesowen. Very light golden and clear with a tight off-white head. Aroma is hay and bread with some unidentifiable fruity notes. Sweet taste, a bit grainy, some citrus but none of that lovely Simcoe flavour. Light body with soft carbonation. Not Mallinson's best. Maybe my expectations were too high.
