Said to enjoy the odd tipple, Thomas Skelton the ghost of Muncaster Castle is still fooling around today. His favourite beer, named after his good self; is a golden amber ale with all the characteristics of a light mild.

Cask at the Stag and Hounds, Binfield. Pale amber with a loose white head; earthy caramel malt aroma; medium body with a toffee flavour; then some fruity hops giving a pleasantly bitter, biscuity finish.

This is OK, not one of the best I’ve had. A bit too much lingering sweetness. It does taste stronger than 4%, leading to a reasonable finish.

500ml Brown bottle, best before 30 Apr 2012 and poured into my Abbot Ale glass tankard in early Mar 2012. White head on top of an amber body, clear and clean. The nose, like the taste is a lovely blend of malts and hops: roasted/toasted molasses first, hop citrus and piney bitterness second. Crisp and refreshing, thought this might be a cheap supermarket brew, it is a lot better than that.

Cask@The Monro, Liverpool. Bronze colour with a fading off white head. Sweet slightly fruity aroma. Flavour was sweet malty and lacking any real character. Lightly bitter finish. Ok (ish) but leaning towards the average side of the street.

Cask@Cayo Arms, Cardiff. Nut brown color, small off-white head. Nutty, sweet toffeish nose. Nutty malty, towards the finish there is some harsh elements. Quite uninteresting mild without any big faults.
