Sampled cask conditioned. Deep golden coloured. Rich aromatic hoppy smell. Fruity and medium bodied. The same nice hop profile as their Norfolk Wherry Best Bitter, but more sweet and full bodied. The malt profile does not appeal to me as much.

Poured from the bottle, a very light orange with no head. A cirtus fruit hop aroma. Very smooth with some hoppiness - very easy to drink.

Cask (Cambridge Blue, Cambridge)
Looks like your typical golden. Aroma not far off expectation too, crisp hops. OK light malty base, with more tangy hops. Good example of a simple golden.

Pale ale appearance with a lightly hopped aroma and a standard hopped flavour. Overall a basic watery hopped beer.

Bottle: Clear gold with a short white head. Clean malt aroma with some mild floral hoppiness. Sweet biscuity malts with some subdued toffee. Slightly citric hop finish. Medium bodied, not bad.

Bottle. A lagery sort of ale. Light pale malt sweetness, with some grassy, flowery hops. Mouthfeel is fairly dry, with some quenching crisp bitterness right at the end, lightly lemony at the end. Not too bad, a nice summer drink i would imagine.

Cask Conditioned. Yellow golden colour with big chunky head. I can only agree with previous apple comments, almost ciderish. Greenish lemony hops with short finish, dry winey grape.
