Cask @ The Paramount, Manchester. Dark mahogany-red in colour with a creamy and slightly off-white head. Has a huge bubble-gum aroma and taste which does negate its strength in terms of taste. Quite crisp, but overly sugary in the main.

Cask @ the Cholmondeley Arms, Cheshire with my Belgian father-in-law. Pours a deep amber with thin bubbly head. Dusty glass. Light fruity hop aroma with a thin, mediocre bitter taste. Rather boring.

Cask @ GBBF14. Smooth sourish beginning. Malt, smooth and dry. Nice ale characteristic, hints of smooth malt, even fudge. The aftertaste is a bit sourish, nice and smooth, malt, dry but still hints of sweetness. Very nice brew!

Hand-pulled pint in The St Georges Sports and Social Club on 2nd June 2014. Light golden blond with a lasting white crown that gave some impressive lacing on my sleeve glass. Fairly sweet with a malty base, the hops very much in the background in both the aroma and taste. Medium bodied with a mini yeastiness within the flavour. Better than it initially looked.

Cask @ The Boathouse, Shrewsbury. Pours clear gold, with a fresh blonde taste, although very middle-of-the-road with mediocre hop flavours.

Cask @ Old Harkers Inn, Chester [200314] [From memory as notes lost]
First beer tried in Chester. Light blonde, clear, dense white head. Aroma of almost nothing. Tasted of very little, bit mineraly, slight hop bitterness. Palate soft bitter, bitterness with little flavour. Found this beer very bland and watery, really poor overall
