Lively pint which eventually settled into an extra pale gold/straw with a frothy white head and a a soft cereal aroma. Light bodied but also just a little bit creamy, with mild citrus bitterness, some floral hops, a hint of honey sweetness and light biscuit malt underneath

Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. Very pale gold, clear with a thin white head. Tropical fruit and grapefruit with melted butter in the nose. Tastes a bit better, with sweetness on the front end and some decent if mild hop bitterness near the finish. Light body, soft carbonation. A little bit of a throwback to the buttery goldes of yore but it has enough redeeming qualities.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Crystal clear gold with small white head. Clean, fairly sweet malt with some floral and mandarin notes. Light but slick with a prickly carbonation. No huge flavours but pleasant and extremely sessionable.

Cask at Head of Steam, Birmingham. Clear light gold with small white top, good lacing. This one had notes of biscuit, a mild yeasty sour stone fruit and a moderate bitter hop. Medium bodied, semi-drying. Pleasant enough but I think they need to up their game with pale cask offerings - too many are middle of the cycle lane.
