Cask, the Cockney pub, Aarhus. Kelham : Golden with beautiful dense head. Fruity and hoppy - with a lemony/grapefruity quality, pleasent bitterness. Creamy mouthfeel. Highly drinkable.... Ridleys: (Pale island): more sour, not as delicately hopped. 3.0

Cask at Bristol Beer Festival. Nose of fermented peaches. Head is a bit like fairy liquid - sudsy and strong. Flavour is great - a steady, fresh pale ale with hints of citrus. A good one.

Cask at Charliespub Copenhagen. Pours golden with a vanishing white head. Aroma is hoppy, with some malt sweetness, and a faint trace of elderberry. Taste is slightly sweet, with some floral hoppyness. Aftertaste is fruity, whitch turns into a pleasant bitterness

Pale gold colour. A bit cloudy. Some grassy hop in the aroma, but much more restrained than I had been expecting. A hint of sulphur too. The hop character comes through much more clearly on the palate. Clean, crisp and citric. Not a lot of bitterness, with some fruitiness coming through on the finish. A light bodied, refreshing beer, but nothing out of the ordinary in my view. Cask (handpump) at Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival 2005.

Bottled. Golden with an off white head. Aromas are very green and oily hops - like a (good) German pilsner oddly enough. Flavours are citrus fruit followed by more of the lovely hops. Its all very well balanced and moreish. Mine has gone already.
