Festival pint draft at Hebrides West End, Edinburgh, Scotland. Cask pour. It is a very nitro pour and now is a clear dark gold color with a small, creamy, tight white head and excellent retention. Virtually no aroma. Super creamy mouthfeel. Malty lager taste with some bread. This is a very well made golden ale. Really clean and easy drinking, but not the most flavorful. So it's lovely to drink, but not excellent taste. But not bad taste either. Medium body and low carbonation as suggested by the cask pour. Zero bitterness.

Festival pint (20 oz) draft at Ryries at Haymarket Station, Edinburgh, Scotland. It pours a dark golden-amber color with a small khaki head and great retention. Virtually no aroma. Excellent retention. This is a very good Helles. It's smooth and clean and bready/doughy, and really easy drinking. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. Not bitter at all. Slightly sweet. The more I drink of this Helles, the more I like it. It's really good.

Festival pint (20 oz) draft at Ryries at Haymarket Station, Edinburgh, Scotland. It is a crystal clear light gold color with zero retention or lacing. Strangely, not much apple aroma. Sweet apple cider flavor and not much else. Smooth and clean. It's thin like most ciders. Lower carbonation than I expected. Zero bitterness. Very refreshing. Definitely not beer.

500ml bottle at Grasmere Tea Gardens, in Grasmere, England. From the bottle. Pours a mostly clear yellow-gold color with a white head and good retention. Great lacing too. Pale malt and light bread aroma. The taste follows the nose: Smooth and clean pale maltar and a nice bready finish. I'm not getting any of the apricot or lime or peach notes that the label mentions, but it's still a very good golden ale. Medium body and medium carbonation. Low bitterness.
