Cask (gravity) @ GBBF 09, Great British Beer Festival, Earls Court Exhibition Centre, London, England.
Clear medium yellow orange color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, hay, toasted, moderate hoppy, fruity. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20090804]

Cask Stillage at the GBBF, Earls Court 04/08/2009 Some hop aroma. Golden coloured smooth on the palate and a little fruity with a hint of dryness and bitterness in a crisp lasting malt finish.

(draft @ Tap and Mallet - Rochester, NY) Copper color with almost no head. Aroma is dry and malty with a little bit of dry grass. Flavor is smooth and malty with a light bitterness at the end. Not bad, but kind of ordinary.

Solid. Had some on draft at the Pony Bar in NYC. Pours a yellow-gold with a small receding head. Aroma has a tinge of hops. Flavor is straw and bitter hops. Nice and crisp.
