Cask at Victoria station W’Spoons. Golden pour with medium fluffy white head. Good aroma of hops/citrus fruit. Hoppy, citrus fruit, malty, bitter taste. Nicely balanced and very drinkable indeed.

Cask at the Live and Let Live, Cambridge. Gold with a thin white head; fruity malt aroma; a fruity malt flavour as well, with an oily, syrupy texture; followed by a strongly bitter finish. Good, but rather ill defined.
