[cask, Back of Beyond, Reading] Supposedly a wheat beer; very pale and completely clear. Taste is mouth-wrinklingly bitter. Soon a strong citrus sharpness emerges, but without any of the associated citrus flavours. Bitterness dominates in the aftertaste. Like no other wheat beer I’ve tasted - because generally I like wheat beers, and I hated this.

Cask, Dee Hotel, West Kirby. Golden, with a slight haze and a thin white head. Floral, cascade hop aroma (as you might expect) Flavour is hoppy again, with some grass and orange. Decent lingering hop bitterness in the finish. A good take on an APA.

Cask handpull at Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. Orange/gold with thin beige head. Dusty/blackberry aroma. Acidic blackberry in mouth, juicy sharp blackberry on finish. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Very tasty and I love the fruit.

(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 26 April 2008) Hazelnut coffee porter? Sounds kind of weird. But it actually works quite well. Ruby red colour with frothy, beige head. Fairly pale for a porter. Malty, roasted nose with fresh coffee and nuts. Malty, slightly roasted taste with coffee and hazelnuts. Tasty, but with a godd balance between all the different flavours. Nice!

Cask, gravity dispensed, at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Pale straw with a trace of white head; sour grain aroma; buttery flavour with some underlying citrus; grapefruit bitterness to finish. (4/3/6/3/12=2.9) [Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell, as Saltaire Amarillo] I'm not sure this is the same beer. This time it's a pale amber pour with a tight cream head; peachy aroma; soft peach fruit taste with a smooth grainy body; and a herbal bitterness to finish. Good. (6/4/7/3/13=3.3) 30Mar2019

Cask handpull at Thomas Beckett, Canterbury. Gold with disappearing white head. Some amarillo. It’s a bit sherberty in mouth. Standard golden/blond beer. Not great condition. Bit of sweaty sox. Probably better when 100% fresh, but I would still want a lot more hops thrown at it.

Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Pale gold with lasting off white head. Grassy citrus hop aroma. Good carbonation in mouth. Rather a nice spritzy sherberty blond bitter. Good finishing tingle on tongue. Pretty drinkable, some nettle, bit of green hop. Fine.
