Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Amber with a trace of a cream head, leaving plenty of lacing; citrus aroma; fruity in the mouth with lots of orange, and an almost marmalade-like sweetness; however there is a firm lasting bitter finish which cuts through this. An excellent example of a golden ale.

Cask conditioned at The Hobgoblin, Reading. Brilliant gold with a trace of beige head; honeyed aroma; flavours of citrus hops and honey over a bready body; a dry, clean, citrus aftertaste. A very well crafted beer.

Cask condtioned handpull Evening Star, Brighton. Copper colour with thin beige head. Yeast, dry malt aroma, little bit toasty. Good condition, if a little fizzy. It’s a slightly malty best bitter. Condition adds to the hop tingle on finish. It’s a competent if not startling bitter.

Cask conditioned at The Hobgoblin, Reading. Slightly hazy copper colour with an off-white head; inviting citrus aroma; sweet and sticky in the mouth, like drinking orange marmalade; and a bitter orange aftertaste. Very different, and interesting - but slightly too sweet for me.
