Craft 100. Clapham. Cask. Hazy amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Nice mild blackberry and mellow generic berry fruits. Mild floral berries. Pinch of spice. Tidy.

Cask at Craft 100, 06/10/16. Hazed amber to chestnut brown with a solid beige head. Nose is spice, berry fruits, biscuit, grains, bready notes, blackberry. Taste comprises brown bread, light roast, light peppery spice, red berry tingle, biscuit. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Nose was fine but the taste fell away ... a bit wish washy and directionless.

Cask at Craft 100 - fall 2016. Pours mostly clear amber with a foamy head. The aroma holds moderate wintery spices, some lightly toasted breads. Light sweet flavour with muddled malt character, restrained slices, bread, leaves. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Somewhat bland on the finish, just further mellow spicing, dried berries, toasty bread. So so.

Cask at Craft 100. It pours cloud red - brown with a medium off-white head. The aroma is rich, bitter - sweet, juniper, cherry cola, big blackberry jam vibe, winter spice, tangy and Victoria sponge. The taste is sweet, earthy roast, toasty, chewy malt, leather, wood, ginger, earthy, nutmeg, allspice and dried cherry with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Pretty good fun.
