Cask at the Barrel Vault, St Pancras, 20/03/2026.
Golden to light amber topped with an off white head.
Nose is grass, grains, faint citric peel.
Taste comprises light breads, grass, tangerine, fruit esters.
Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close with modest hop presence.
Passable cask affair ... don't expect anything west or coast from this!

Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2026, Beer#22. Dark clear amber beer, quite hoppy, a little sugary, has a bitter finish. Depending on what your taste buds find dominant with each sip it can feel both tasty or blandish. I thought there was a little too much malt to begin with but settled for the aforementioned after deciding not.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear amber colour lasting cream head. Malty hoppy beer. Some dusty earthyness. Some ok malts. Some building bitterness on the finish. Pump clip suggests a West Coast Ipa. Almost a dusty mouldy aroma. Its not great to be honest. I struggled with it.

5/3/2026. Cask at wetherspoon’s beer festival. At the Bell Hotel, Norwich. Pours well. Aroma is piney, citrus, musty tropical, orange, a bit dank and overripe. Bittersweet taste, a little soapy and veggie. More bitterness comes through. Not bad.
