Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Deep golden and clear with a quickly disappearing white head. Lemon balm, vanilla and mucky sulphur on the aroma. Tastes much better than it smells, with a citrus-tinged bitterness challenging the initial malty sweetness. More caramel in the aftertaste. Not bad by any means.

Cask @ The Dolphin. Pours clear gold, white head, room temp. Light honey aroma. Taste is thin, extremely watery, odd sweetness than vaguely resembles honey I guess. Pale malt. Pretty awful.

50cl bottle from Aldi, Bracknell. A pale amber pour with a tight white head; sweet biscuity malt aroma; sweet in the mouth with a light malty taste and some caramel; but little in the way of hops.

Bottle from Aldi. Golden in colour with a billowy, white, head. Sweet bitter, with a touch of floral hope and stone fruit, before a moderately bitter finish. Ok.
