Cask at Ealing beer festival 2016, Ealing, London. An amber coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Hoppy, fruity aroma. Tastes similar, hoppy, citrus fruit, slightly bitter. Not what I would call an IPA.

Cask halfpint at The White Hart (a Harvey’s pub), Crawley. ABV 3.5%. Deep golden color, no head. Minimal aroma. Fairly dry flavour, some tingling fruity and herbal English hops make the beer quite drinkable, but this is not an IPA (neither historical nor modern) by any stretch of the mind.

Cask, on gravity at the Avon Valley Beer festival, 4/6/2015. Chestnut in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Sweetish malts, some house yeast character, leafy hops and a decently bitter finish. Fine.

On cask @ the brewery tap. Smooth mild beginning. Nice fresh malty ale body, fresh with mild earthy hops. Smooth mild slightly bitter floral aftertaste with a very nice smooth ale malty aroma.

Cask @ White Hart, Crawley. Orange amber, negligible head/lacing. Scent is woody, musty and sulphurous. Bitter and sour notes dominate the taste. Grows on you, but perhaps a beer to respect but not necessarily to love.

Cask at the White Swan, Arundel. Chestnut brown with a foamy white head; malty aroma; earthy malt taste with a twiggy bitterness. This is actually a palatable country bitter, but clearly doesn’t fit with the modern meaning of IPA.

Cask at Lord Nelson, Brighton. It pours clear brown with a small white head. The nose is earth, wood, light caramel and brown bread. The taste is wood, twig, dull bitterness, leather, cereal and toast with a dry finish. Light body and soft, massaging carbonation. Bland and boring bitter....
