Cask (Guide Dog, Southampton) - From 2006. Golden coloured. Floral and rather 'green' aroma with tea, citrus and some herbal notes. The taste is pretty similar and rather moreish.

Keg at Croxtons, Southsea. Aroma has sweet dry citrus. Bubbly opaque gold body. Thick creamy white head. Light-medium bitter - dry and spicy. Light sweet citrus hints. Underlying bread malts. Light-medium bodied. Thin but then benefits from soft carbonation. Long dry finish. Pleasent. Especially after we had to rush to make out reservation (needlessly it turns out as the place was not very busy).
