On cask at The Greyhound Inn, Aldbury. Smooth fresh beginning. Hints of grain, nice Ale characteristics, Fresh and smooth. The aftertaste is nice ale, a bit too much grain, fresh with a moderate bitter aftertaste! Nice though.

Cask at the Eel Pie, Twickers, 12/10/13. Clear golden copper with a moderately sized off white head. Nose is toasted malt, grass, lightly singed caramel, fruit notes - pretty thin and undynamic all told. Taste picks up a little comprising biscuit malt, light paper, nutty tones, orchard fruit, cake mix. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light bitterness in the finish. So so bitter.
Not really. I didn't feel like adding the beer I'm drinking from them. Christmas Ale 1995.
