Cask (handpump) @ Wenlock Arms, 26 Wenlock Road, London, Greater London England N1 7TA.
Clear medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate hoppy, flowers, citrus, lemon, lime. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20081228]

Cask conditioned at Far from the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Hazed Gold with white head. Poured straight from the barrel. Big, wonderfully flavoursome, clean, dry bitter, plenty going on with orange and grapefruit in the foreground and then a lemon rush, all on top of a clean dry malt as a carrier. Very tasty indeed.

Cask, Far From The Madding Crowd winter festival. Slight hazy gold with a small, dense, just off-white cap, and a nice ring of lace. Gorgeous full fresh citrus aroma. Sun-ripened lemons, an undercurrent of raspberries. Just an extravagantly aromatic beer. Loads of citrus hop flavor, lemon up front, transitions to tangerine. A touch of catty flavor, which adds some texture. Light restrained clean malt. A fairly modest level of bitterness--it’s certainly there, but much more hop flavor than bitterness. Delicate, soft. Just a cracking good beer. Served in good shape, and a wonderfully big (but not overbearing) experience of hoppy goodness.

Cask at Charlie’s, Cph. Very fruity and hoppy nose, with hints if light bready malts and some elderflower. Golden colored body with a bubly white head. Crisp and lemony hop flavor, with a light malty note. Very drinkable and very refrshing.
