Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Served from a traditional handpump. Amber in colour with a dense off-white head; dusty, citrus aroma; prickly in the mouth with a thin wheaty flavour; watery, gingery finish. Another GK failure.

Cask Conditioned Handpump Sun Inn Kislingbury. A golden beer with a whitish head and lacing. The aroma has some citrus hoppy notes but a little Suffolk dishwater. The taste is lightly hoppy and a tad floral. Quite refreshing actually.

Cask at The Eagle, Cambridge. Gold with a short aerated head. Very fruity with an orange hop scent. Carbonated. Bitter and slightly dry. Earthy hops in the mouth, some roast malt. Slightly bland but I liked what was there.

Cask at The Wheatsheaf Frimley Green. A good golden colour with a nice medium size white head. Plenty of fruit in the aroma, and in the taste. Not a bad beer for Greene King.

Bottle @ Beer Exposed, September 2008.
Pours a nice golden with a small, bubbly, off-white head. Aroma is softly fruity with some oranges and malts. Low carbonation, a bit thin and watery. Flavour is soft, malty and with far too little hops. Pretty boring.
