Cask half-pint in The Crown Inn, Oakengates Shropshire on 17th March 2016. Smooth amber body with a creamy textured head, looked good. Taste and aroma came across with toffee and caramel malty initially, that sweetness gave way to a fruity bite and the beer ended up with a flavour like an Apple Pie (without the custard). I liked it.

Cask @ Moon under Water, Manchester [291004]
Golden, clear, thin dense white head, some lacing
Aroma of soft fruits, light citrus, little on nose
Taste of slight fruits, bit of cereal, not much hops, just bitter, bit harsh
Palate - Medium body. Soft bitter finish.
Overall - Wasn’t getting much US hop in this. Rather non-descript.

Cask at the Victoria Station Spoonies - London. Pours clear old with a frothy white head. The aroma has moist, leafy hops and mouldy oranges. Light-medium sweet flavor with lots of damp, earthy hops, some bitter pine, grainy bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Bitter finish with some orange rind, pine, damp leaves and earth, a bit of stale grainy bread. Pretty shabby.
