Mar 21, 2009 Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Gold with white head. Highly perfumed golden beer with a ripe lychee flavour, slightly off and metallic unfortunately, not to my taste.

Mar 5, 2009 Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End, Harrow. Gold with a delicate white head. A very drinkable beer for it’s type with noticable honey well balanced by the first gold hops.

Mar 4, 2009 Cask handpull at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Gold, lasting white head. Good condition. Honey really shines through. Gives it some sweetness, but keeps its balance. I liked it very much. Good honey and flavour balanced by hop. Good.

Mar 3, 2009 Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes. Gold with a small white head. I picked up a citric aroma. Odd malty taste that I could never quite pin down, by turns almond, cardboard, earth and bread. Quite sharp bitterness. No appreciable honey. Still changing my mind about this one.

Mar 3, 2009 A Mes rate: cask at Baker St ’Sporks.
Clean gold with a decent white head and reasonable condition. Faint hint of honey on the nose with some bready malt in the background and some faint pig farm. Similar flavour with a strong mineral note. The honey develops a little in the finish but it doesn’t do much overall. Good mouthfeel thanks to the adjuncts. So so.

Feb 26, 2009 Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Very average and uninteresting. Pale gold with a thin white head; no noticeable aroma; lemon and lime flavours over a watery grainy base; little in the way of a finish. No sign of any honey.
