Bottle from The Ship In A Bottle, Liverpool. Poured a golden amber colour with an average sized off white head. Aroma is moderately hoppy, with caramel, citrus and grapefruit. Taste has a light sweetness and bitterness. Light body, texture is a touch thin but quite smooth. Average carbonation. Finish is a light hoppy bitterness. Enjoyed this, a good session ale.

Cask at the Earl of Beaconsfield, Cambridge. Mid-gold, a bit of head with quite a substantial amount of white lacing. Spruce and grapefruit aroma. Taste is lovely. A fruity bitter with a slight candied sweet edge which turns to astringency in the finish. Perfectly kept and well-balanced. A good cask bitter.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. Straw with a tight cream head; sweet grainy aroma; smooth grainy body with some tropical fruit, and an unusal, dry, deep, grainy bitterness that lingers. A satisfying pint.

Cask at the Belle Vue, High Wycombe. Gold with a white head and a light sparkle. Pleasant sweet lemony hops, with a moderate dry bitterness and an easy going mouthfeel. Refreshing and goes down very easily. Nothing outstanding, but itโs a decent summer session ale, could drink a lot of this!

Cask @ Ship & Mitre, Liverpool. Golden-blonde with a small head. Has hoppy-floral notes throughout with some fruitiness in here too. A touch sour without being a sour ale and fairly crisp.
