Casked. Golden colour, small bubbly head. Sweetish, almost urineish, aroma of fruits and wheat. Flavour of honey, fruit and flowery hops. Wellbalanced. Flavour is very nice compared to the aroma.

Cask at Seven Stars, London. Golden with creamy head. Good fresh herbal and parfumy hops in the aroma with aromatic maltiness. Strong hop flavor with very good maltiness and some tropical fruits. Finishes bitter-fruity and malty. Tasted much fresher, hoppier and maltier than previously at Helsinki beer festival 2006 (rated 8/2/6/3/12).

Pale yellow, not much head. Flowery hoppy nose. Lemony, even citric, flowery hoppy flavor. Not very malty. Reasonably hoppy, lemony aftertaste. Expected more but more or less "just another casked ale".

a sim rate: (Cask at Battersea Beer Festival) Quite sweet with definite honey in flavour. Sweet citric aroma. Hoppy and quite floral.

Half pint pulled at the Battersea Beer Fest, very lively, a clear light gold with a large bubly white head. A rich aroma with pollen and fruits for me. A good bitterness all the way through, hints of dried apricots. My favourite beer of the festival (though options were limited both nights I went).

A little sweet in aroma, very hoppy too. The foam is very bubbling. In flavor is a little perfume alike but very bitter.

(Cask@St.Urho’s) Hazy yellow-golden with a small head. Aromatic-lemony-hoppy, toffeeish aroma. Pale-malty, smoothly lemony-hoppy and fruity flavor. Light to medium-bodied, low-carbonated palate. Nice one for a real ale :P. (Cask@Gallows Bird, Espoo) Golden color with a very small, lacy head. Flowery, fruity toffee aroma. Balanced flavor with some malt and "the same amount" of hops. Balance is the keyword here. Light to medium-bodied, low-carbonated palate. A nicely balanced, but not very special brew as such. Maybe worth a re-rate, though.
