On tap at Famous Royal Navy Volunteer Bristol. Clear pale gold colour lasting white head. Noble hop aroma. White flowers. Yes some yeast somw bread aroma. Some decent German lager character. Some noble hop flavour too. Decent enough. Could do with a bit more malt backbone. Noble hops on the end. White flowers finish. Decent.

Cask at The Star & Garter, Bromley. Bitter citrus aromas, splash of white grape & gooseberry. Malty bitter citrusy taste. It's alright.

Cask at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours golden amber with a small scummy off-white head but excellent lacing. The aroma is basically sweet with autumn fruits. In the mouth it starts off sweet and fruity but with also some underlying bitterness which gradually increases. Flavour is tropical fruits, soft citrus and mango with traces of malts, pepper and peaches coming later. Finish is quite bitter. This is entirely reasonable.

Cardiff Mini-break Beer#15. Clear golden coloured cask pour. Smoothish but sessionable textured, the tropical fruity hops mix is light in taste but there's enough to add flavour.

Cask at Curious Gnome, Chester. Pours “bitter brown” with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s oranges and floral hops in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a little underlying bitterness. A general fruitiness is the first sensation to hit the taste buds, with more discrete flavours of autumn fruits, floral hops and tangerine following on behind. This is decent – but may require a rerate as it was served far too cold !

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a sweet citrus fruit aroma. Light to medium bodied, just a hint of chewiness, sweet and citrusy with some bready malt, finishes dry and slightly bitter.
