Cask @ Glebe, Stoke-on-Trent. Clear golden with a small head. Dry and hoppy, but is enough. Very mild fruitiness.

Cask @ Old Bull's Head Inn, Newcastle-under-Lyme. Black with a creamy off-white head. Dark malty, with this taste being most prominent in its developing aftertaste, mostly just a smooth brew when it initially hits the palate. The dark malts are evident in aroma too.

Cask half pint in the Shakespeare, Bridgnorth on 14th December 2024. CAMRA Christmas outing. Clean and clear amber body, off white crown. Strange aroma and taste, light smoky nose with subtle honey notes in the flavour, an odd one for sure!

Hmm, not feeling this completely, maybe a tired barrel!? Little to no aroma, fairly lifeless looking copper colour with a small frothy tan head, there’s caramel malt and some hints of sweet fruit but it falls a bit flat

Clear and golden with a creamy white head and a soft citrus aroma. Smooth and creamy with light malt and a mellow sweet orange flavour, a little kick of bitterness before a dry bittersweet finish

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Cock Hotel on 14th September 2024. Clean pale golden body, white head. Orange like aroma and taste, light bitterness gaining strength mid-sip. Not as 'Marmalade' as advertised.

Keg pint on 14th September 2024 at the Cock Hotel. Bright golden pour, soft white crown of tight bubbles. Citrussy front with a decent bitterness, rather 'fizzy' though.

Hand-pulled half-pint on 14th September 2024 in the Cock Hotel. This appears to have replaced their regular Blonde offering as I have seen this in a number of their pubs recently but not the original. Anyway it's a pale amber colour, clean and clear, on top a white foaming head. Citra hops rule the aroma and taste, more subtle than 'in your face'. It's a run of the mill sort of citrussy blonde.

[Cask at the Rose & Crown, Ludlow.] A slightly hazy pale amber pour with a loose white head; citrus aroma; smooth grainy body with a citrus taste; and a crisp lemony citrus finish. Refreshing.
