Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Straw colour, clear with a loose white head. Light lemon and grapefruit in the aroma, with an almost yeasty character. Sweet sulphurous taste, with lots of bitterness at the finish. Not much body to it and not carbonated. It's okay, but there isn't that much to it.

Cask at the Craven Arms, Birmingham on 29th December 2023. Crystal clear gold with shallow whitish foam and full lacing. Hoppy aroma. Citrus and ripe berry fruits in-mouth, and a satisfying bitter grassy finish. Medium bodied with an engaging mouthfeel. Exquisite.

Hand-pulled pint on 25th November 2023: Pheasant Inn & Brewhouse, Wellington, Shropshire. Clean and clear light golden body, snow white lasting head. Citrus lead in the nose and taste, decent enough, but a refreshing 'Summer Beer' rather than a cold November one.

Clear pale gold with a frothy/bubbly white head and a soft citrusy nose. Hoppy up front, sweet malt and fruit combine before a touch of dry bitterness pulls through.

Gravity pour at the Anvil Inn, Shifnal on 6th October 2023, beer festival in progress. Clean golden yellow body, no head. Pretty bland to be honest, some light hop and malt action, but all to subtle and weak for me.
