On cask at 41st Steel City Beer Festival - Pale golden clear body, thick lacing white head. Nose is gentle citrus, a bit grassy with a soft floral hop characteristic. Taste is sweet grapefruits, a bit of cereal, and once again floral. Fairly decent mouthfeel makes it overall a refreshing pint.

Cask. Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Clear, straw colour (?). Bar staff reckons the brewer must be colourblind. I reckon the beer doesn’t match the pumpclip. Which sort of makes rating it pointless. Whatever, it does match up with other Toolmaker’s beers I’ve had...

Cask @ The New Oxford, Salford. Blonde with a frothy head. Has light but very pleasant tropical fruity hops in its aroma and taste with a fair crispness to its body. Very palatable.
