Cask at Butlers Bell, Stafford. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Aroma is some vague mango and kiwi. Mango again to the fore in the mouth to start, but very quickly this becomes bitter citrus hops which rapidly turn sticky and clog up the roof of the mouth. Thereโs some, lime, berry fruits and tinned mandarin oranges, All in all a horrid mish-mash โ yuck !

Cask @ Regal Moon, Rochdale. Wetherspoon Autumn Beer Festival 2022. Golden with a creamy head and a hint of carbonation. Very dry tasting, seemingly locking in its fruitiness, which is apparent, but certainly doesn't explode in the palate as the brew's tasting notes suggest.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A pale amber pour with a trace of white head; strangely meaty aroma; dry in the mouth with a grapefruit taste; and a dry pithy bitter finish. Strange.

Nice looking clear golden ale with a frothy white head and biscuits on the nose. Biscuit malt to the fore, crisp and fresh and a touch of fruit

Big frothy head on a slightly hazy deep golden beer, exhibiting plenty of carbonation, and offering a floral, fruity nose with subtle toffee malt lurking below. Tastewise it's similar, with the malt hiding a little, and a nice subtle bitterness coming through in the finish

Bottle. Golden beer with a very strong foamy white head. The aroma is hopped and toffee, and the flavour is well hopped with toffee and a good degree of bitterness. Overall a nice dry, toffee and hopped flavoured beer.
