13th July 2019, cask half-pint on the 23rd Annual Bishop's Castle Real Ale and Cider Trail. As the name suggests, this is a golden bodied beer, the head a white blanket of foam. Nose and flavours leaning towards citrus with a dry hop finish.

Half-pint, cask ale at The Arch Rivals Micropub. Clear, warm golden body, dotted spots on the glass, dissipating white head. Inviting smell of citrus and oily hops. Blended taste profile of citrus and grainy malts followed by leafy bitterness to the ending. Easy to drink and quite tasty. (Worcester 29.06.2019).

500ml bottle via B&M Bargain Shrewsbury. Pours dark with faint ruby hints, frothy off white cap. Aroma has light chocolate, light roast. Medium bodied, with a nice gently sweet porter character, underlying vanilla, not too much chocolate, modest bitteress. Its a fine porter, bolstered slightly by its strength.

Bottle from Last Plantagenet (JDW), Leicester. Golden, mostly clear with a largw foamy white head. Sweet spice - nutmeg and ground coriander - in the aroma, with some ligtcitrus beer and yeasty sourdough. Sweet taste, just a litrle too sweet for my liking but well within the realms of acceptability. There's an odd metallic/astringent character in the finish. Imperfect but perfectly drinkable. I can't complain, even thpigh I'm tempted to.

Bottle at Prince Arthur, Fleet. Sweet sugary floral banana aroma. Spicey edge. Cloudy gold. Fluffy white head. Light bitter with a spicy sour edge. Underlying banana. Light bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Dry finish. Nice enough without being overly interesting.
