I had this on cask at the grand opening party
It wasn't my favorite from IronSight. The color is slightly rosy golden with light haze and a small white cap which retains well. The lace holds and the bead is fine. The smell is fragrant with some light floral notes with mild citrus and subtle caramel sweetness in the nose. The feel is decent for a cask bitter-well balanced overall, however the yeast seems to dominate the hops slightly. The sweetness level is good as is the mild body and alcohol.
This bitter is flavored with enough fruity yeast and mild toasted flavors in the malt for my taste. I just prefer the hops to show a little more bitterness to balance. The hops do show up in the flavor more as floral/fruity than bitter and seem somewhat juicy when combined with the gentle sweetness of the malt and English yeast. I thought this was a decent example of a cask bitter, but didn't think the beer itself was very good but it works and is good for what it is a refrehing and flavorful beer considering the flaws to the style and abv.
