Cask handpull at Barrel Vaults JDW St Pancras. Clear pale gold colour lasting white head. Light malts light hopping. Some citrus flavour. It's OK. A little moderate. Not too exciting. OK temperature and condition. Fine if a little boring. Bitterness builds on the finish. Not an outstanding Oakham beer.

Cask @ The State, Glasgow. Golden-blonde with a small creamy-frothy head. Hopped brew with a hint of sweetness in its nose, but whilst it slips down well enough there's little character here.

Hand-pulled half-pint on 22nd January 2024, in the Pheasant Inn & Brewhouse. Golden body, snow white head. Citrus front to this floral brew, a bit 'thin' body and flavour wise, all a little subtle and weak.

Can @ White Hart, Todmorden. Mildly hazy light golden with a small head. Grapefruit with a lower citric influence is flavoursome here and evident enough in its aroma too. Pleasantly sessionable.
