Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Pours perfectly clear gold with a fine, foamy white head. Light pale malt nose with hints of tangy lemon. Light sweet flavor, some doughy white bread, citric bitterness, some hay. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Simple finish, some dried straw and biscuity pale malts, hints of lemon. Very basic and slightly lacking in condition.

Pint from cask (handpull) at Manchester & County (JDW), Manchester. Copper coloured with a small head. Aroma of malt, fruits, caramel and citrus. Sweet with a pleasantly bitter and slightly citrussy finish. A bit watery, but pleasant and refreshing. (2013-01-25)

500ml bottle from the Crafty Pint, Darlington covered market. Clear orange amber colour, white head and slight hoppy malt aroma with an orangey note. Taste is malt caramel, some sweetness with light fruity hop bitterness, to a warming dryish bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation. Quite smooth. OK.

(Cask at Dog & Duck, Soho, London, 25 Nov 2012) Golden colour with brief, off-white head. Fruity, slightly malty nose with orange and apricots. Malty, fruity taste with notes of apricots, orange, a soft malt character and a gentle citric bitterness in the finish. Light body, with balanced sweetness. Quite decent, but lacking something extra.
