Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. The nose has a soft lemony aroma along with some caramel. In the mouth it is juicy and sweet, though slightly watery. There’s lemon and citrus at the start, with hops coming through later, turning things bitter. Finish is mainly citrus though. Not bad, but not very exciting either – a standard golden ale really.

Cask at the Pup and Duckling, Solihull. Poured a a dark reddish brown colour with a lasting frothy off-white head. The aroma is malt and blueberries. The flavour is moderate sweet, with a smooth, rich, malt, juicy blueberry, light sweet vanilla palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Tasty, but might get a little sickly after a couple of pints.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head Leicester. Mid-gold with a small tight white head. Nice floral notes in the aroma, hay and fresh grass with buttery notes. Taste isn't so great however, pretty much pure buttery gold with some bittering hop at the end which redeems it a little. Not a great beer.
