Cask at the lyric Soho. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is bread, toasted seeds, earth and light spice. The taste is oily, wood, earth, some astringency, light bitterness and wet leaf with a lingering bitter finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Rather odd tasting (weird astringency), can’t say I like the flavour....

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Copper colour, lasting beige head. It’s a fruity full bitter with some fruit salad and some hop bite on finish. It could be good but not sure this is quite right. It’s good, but I can’t tell you why.

@ Griffin, Frome. Light amber colour. Earthy, mushroomy aroma. Earthy palate with some berryish hop notes, balanced by slightly sweet, slightly nutty malts (probably a heritage variety). Excellent.

(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 6 Aug 2010) Amber colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of orange and apricots. Fruity, malty taste with orange, apricots, marmalade and slightly earthy hops in the finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Quite nice, without getting overly exciting.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Pale gold in colour with a dense cream head; grapefruit aroma; flavours of citrus, dry biscuit and slightly musty straw; some grassy hops in there somewhere, but rather muddled; then a dry finish with a stale biscuit aftertaste.

Cask (Guide Dog, Southampton) - Gold/amber in colour. Slightly gassy and biscuity aroma with hints of caramel and dried fruit. The taste is nicely balanced with malt and hops and also features notes of caramel and biscuit mix.
