26th October 2015
Crosse Keys Spoons. Cask. Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, with modest fine carbonation. Smooth malts, not that sweet. Brief tangerine before orange and orange squash. Floral orange follows and gives way to strongly bitter orange marmalade and harsh floral bitterness. Light finish. Strong bitter linger. Pretty bitter but getting reasonable hop fruits.

7Cs. Copying Kernel here, quite frankly. Just a touch too malty for the style. Need some Simpson's Pale but otherwise solid effort.

Cask at the Tilly Shilling (JDW), Farnborough. A golden amber pour with no head; sweet fruity aroma; the taste is a pleasant melange of bitter hops, some citrus, some herbs and some pine, with nothing dominating; then a nicely balanced rounded bitter finish. Not bad.
