Cask handpull at Lower Red Lion, St Albans. Gold, lasting white head. Pleasant easy drinking strong golden beer. Not amazing, but competent. Some pear drop.

Cask at Merton Summer Beer Festival 06-07-07. This beer poured a light golden colour with a pretty bubbly white head topped off with an aroma of gentle hops. The taste started with a quick burst of vanilla that then subsided and in fact I never picked up again but was followed by pleasant fruitiness and nice malty flavours a lovely beer that was very popular and the first to sell out.

Cask at GBBF 2006. A very dark brown beer with a light orange head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of berries. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of berries, carrying thru to a dry and slightly roasted end.

Cask handpull at Saracenโs Head Hotel, Great Dunmow, Essex. Pale gold colour with thin white head. Sherberty floral hop aroma. Nice enough in mouth before sherberty distinctive hop kicks in. Very effervescent tingle on tongue lasts forever. Sweetish sherbert, but really good golden beer.

Cask conditioned at Merton Beer Festival 16-02-07. This poured a mid amber colour with decent clarity but with barely any head at all. Some malts and hops on the nose, and whlst the taste was a just a touch on the ordinary side it was honest enough and slipped down well, hops and malts continued through and there was a slight toffeeiness just there in the background finishing with a bitterness. Whilst it wouldnโt ever set the world alight I would happily have a night on this.

Cask at The Hobgoblin, Reading A really sweet and fruity flavour, reminded me of apricot jam. This sweetness was balanced by a nicely bitter aftertaste. Overall an excellent bitter.
