Cask at the Last Post, Southend on 8th December 2023. Almost clear gold with shallow but lasting whitish foam and full lacing. Hoppy aroma. Zesty and bitter in-mouth, with a satisfying bitter citrus and grass finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Absolutely exquisite. Possibly the best ale I’ve consumed in a Wetherspoons, and among the best I’ve had this year.

[Cask at The Crosse Keys (JDW), London.] A straw coloured pour with a loose white head; floral aroma; crisp grainy body with a fresh bitterness, floral with a little citrus; and a clean bitter finish. Rather tasty.

On cask. Appearance - golden and clear. No head. Nose - orange, bread and a hint of caramel. Taste - orange and caramel mainly. Palate - light to medium bodied, sweet and tangy. Overall - OK but could be fresher.

Cask at Babington Arms, Derby. Pours a pale gold with a small white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and yeast in the aroma plus some hints of citrus. In the mouth it starts off slightly sweet with continental hops, before becoming fairly bitter with grapefruit. Lemon and some underlying caramel. Finish is bitter and quite sticky. Not too bad, but let down by the finish !

Cask @ Regal Moon, Rochdale. Hazy golden with a creamy head. Although very much an ale in design, lager malts are dominant here. Has a fruity aroma though.

13th October 2023, hand-pulled half-pint in my local Wetherspoons. Light yellow/golden body, snow white pillow of foam on top, almost clear. Mild citrus leanings and crisp mouthfeel, almost liked it.
