Cask, 3.8% at GBBF08. Weak buttery aroma. Almost clear golden colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is nicely citric with a little dust in the finish. Thin mouthfeel.

Cask (Liberty Bounds JDW,London) - Golden in colour. Hoppy and fruity aroma. Bitter tasting with some lemon and spicy malt notes. A bit flat and disappointing.

Cask, The New Oxford, Salford. Golden colour, white head. Fragrant, hoppy aroma, some citrus too. Flavour had bags of dry hop, balanced nicely with some fruit and malt. Lingering, dry bitter finish. Yep, I dig it.

Cask, Head of Steam, Liverpool. Golden brown colour. Fragrant citrus aroma with some malt. Really well balanced hoppy fruit tinged flavour. Bitter hop finish. A very tidy effort.
