Cask handpull at Artillery Arms Ramsgate. Heavy diacetyl on the aroma, earthy hops on the end. But the diacetyl just kills it.

(bottle) Hazy, pale golden colour with a short yellowish foamy layer. Slightly yeasty and juicy lemon-fruity hoppy aroma with a tinge of nutty and toasty malt. Bitter flavour with a light sugary touch, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Solid (cara-)malty base with notes of cookies and a moderately flowery and fruity hop presence; quite dry and bitter but nevertheless rounded malty finish with a good dash of aromatic hops. 30.VIII.09

Cask@Charlies Pub, Copenhagen. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is pleasantly fruity along with bigtime wooden (oaked) notes. Flavour is very berryish as well as wooden. Quite basic as is, but somehow this one just got me rocking. Not really sure what, but really enjoyable real ale.
