Cask gravity at St Albans BF 2007. Pale gold with lasting white head. Great Centennial hop aroma. Hey, this is my type of beer, a little soapy perhaps towards the end. Hop is good, decent floralness. Good example of this blond style, but no Hophead or JHB.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 25/9/07. Pale gold with a slight white head. Inticing hoppy aroma of grapefruit and resin. Flavour had more hops with a very long lasting bitter finish. The barrel was drunk within 24 hours, which sums it up: Excellent!

Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is fruity hops, some grass and slight grass. Flavour is the same along with sweet nectar in a nice balance. Pleasant, but still quite boring.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2007. Gold with lasting beige head. Yes, it’s got a lot of very tasty hop, but it is also full of diacetyl. I keep having these beers because Gazza raves about the brewery, but this has too much diacetyl. Otherwise good.

Cask handpull at Market Porter, Borough. Very pale gold with slight haze, lasting white head. I keep trying Pictish beers as Gazza says they’re great. Faint hop aroma, ok in mouth. Finish is sherberty hoppy with a little of the yeast from teh aroma coming through. It’s not wonderful.

Cask at Merton Summer Beer Festival 06-07-07. This poured amazingly clear and a very pale golden colour I was rather suprised, I was expecting at the very least some haziness to it. Once people clocked onto this beer it actually went down very well indeed and I could see why. It had a nice if maybe too subtle aroma with a hint of orange and wheat, the taste was very clean and really refreshing, some spiciness and wheat but quite delicate, still a very nice beer.
