Cask handpull at The Made Inn Ashford Clear amber brown colour lasting beige head. Caramel brown bitter aroma. Yep decent condition and temperature. Some digestive biscuit. Some caramel. Some white pepper dryness on the finish. Some sweetness. Decent I thought. very drinkable.

Cask handpull at Lime Kiln Bristol. Clear gold colour lasting white head. some tropical fruit. ok condition and temperature . decent enough pale ale. drinkable enough. would have another half if nothing else was on. but there is a cider so must have that.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a golden brown with a small white head. Nose is a mix of malts and citrus with some nuts thrown in for good measure. Taste is sweet malts and caramel but with hints of both peppers and corn. Finish is sweet but with some underlying bitterness. Quite nice but not a wolrdbeater.

500ml bottle conditioned: BB 1st Aug 2021. Drank at home on 13th Oct 2020. Clean and clear amber body, until I allowed the sediment from the base of the bottle to escape, murky dull amber body thereafter, off-white head. Malty molasses in the nose, stone fruits also. Not getting too much tropical fruity notes considering the hops listed, more piney as the beer warms in the glass. Bitter and dry finish, it's a fine Pale Ale, even if the hops are all American.

Cask at the Waggon & Horses, Stourbridge. Pours gold with a small head. Aroma is sweet caramel and tangerine. Taste has tangerine, tea and caramel.
