Cask at GBBF 2010. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of citrusy hops. The flavor is sweet and is dominated by lemons, leading to a very dry and bitter finish. The body is light.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Pours clear, rich copper with a faint, white head. Ripe fruits and baked malts on the nose. Sweet, very fruity flavor. Ripe berries and plum, mild bread and very faint earth. Light to medium in body with soft carbonation. Sweet finish with more ripe fruits, and some lingering hops. Alright, nothing special.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading] Amber, moderate white head. Sweet, honey-like taste from the off with a caramel and fruit background. Hints of spice come through, but it needs more hops to balance the sweetness. Below par.
