G>olden with a white nitro-look head. Weak fruity and floral aroma. Sweet fruity flavour with an apple peel note. Rather thin.

Cask @ The Crown, London. Dark golden colour, medium dense off-white head. Aroma has fruits, citrus, fresh hops and some malts. Flavour is smooth malty, some sweet malts. Good session ale.

I think I was a bit harsh on this last time. It is bland and too nitrous but I don’t think it warranted the rather scathing review I posted.

<i>Cask Conditioned at Duke of Argyll, London</i>
Light amber hazy color; thin creamy head. Light hop aroma. Simple Bitter, with some caramel, light flavors, light ashes. Correct bitterness. Too light, but not bad.

Great smooth bitter, had this on tap at a small pub in the picadilly area of London. If I ever go back I’ll definitely have this again.
