Golden beer with a white head. Smell and taste are both light fruit. Maybe something tropical like a touch of mango.

Cask @ White Swan, Hebden Bridge. Amber with a creamy head. Has a fruity berry-sweet character, although fairly light in terms of its taste. Smooth textured.

Cask @ The Bank, Manchester. Light golden coloured ale with a creamy head. Hopped with some malt evident in its nose. Fairly well balanced though in both respects with a crisp medium body.

Bottle shared with dad (courtesy of dad, cheers dad!) Thursday 12th March 2015 Light gold with a white head, some fruitiness and a little hoppiness on the nose, however not particularly citric. Malty in mouth with a little digestive biscuit in mouth, tastes like English hops, bit rustic, bit fruity. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Cask at the Champion, Hyde Park NW, 31/03/15. Clear pale golden with a decent off white covering. Nose is pale malt, melon, citric peel, light bread dough. Taste comprises floral notes, straw, melon, tangerine, soft bread. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. Ok offering, not really the hop presence for an IPA nor the ABV but perhaps a touch more than your typical ESB, English Pale perhaps, have had cask APA’s of this ilk !?

Cask-conditioned at the Barley Mow, Bristol February 2015. Golden in colour, with a frothy, white, head. Aroma of tropical fruit, with some grassy hops. Flavour had more tropical fruits, some slightly spicy malts and a decent, dryish, finish. Good.
