Cask at Angel JDW. Amber colour with big white creamy head. Not much aroma, just a bit grainy. Taste is sweet, bit of marzipan, more grain. Quite smooth. Occasionally sweet. Bit of a disappointment given other Nogne beers I have had. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bitter. on 09 Sep 2019 at 15:54 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.

This imitation brew has a superb texture to its bitterness, but not much flavour.

The Pommelers Rest Spoons, Tower Bridge. Clear amber beer, short lived white head. Light crisp palate, semi dry. Nice tart juicy orange with a little marmalade. A little lemon and minerals. Turns sweeter before the dry finish. Good bitter linger. A refreshing beer and one of the finer bitters I’ve had.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW, London. Pours rich, clear gold with a fine, foamy white head. Somewhat nondescript aroma, some light light toast and straw. Light to medium sweet flavor, quite bitter with grass, dirt and twigs. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Nicely balanced to finish with some toasty bread, toasty sugar, burnt grass, light dirt and wood. Very decent overall with lingering hops.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading] Amber. Smells fresh and tastes fresh, lemon and pine come through, but the flavours are more muted than I expected from this world renowned brewer. Reasonable, but well short of great.

Cask @ JDW Elgin Golden yellow...clear..frothy white head...good lacing
Aroma - light soft sweet biscuity malt...light fruit...yeast...not much aroma
Taste - light pale biscuit malts...light spicy bitter hops...soft light fruits...golden soft fruity malts....flavour gets better as you have more of it but quite ordinary
Palate - soft carb...thin to medium body...light spicy tang on palate...light soapy mouthfeel. Finish - moderate bitter spicy hop...biscuity finish...some linger
Overall - All these collab Wetherspoon- UK brewery/ International brewery don’t work that well. It’s just a standard bitter....nowhere near the standard of normal Nogne O beers.

Cask handpull at Crosse Keys Spoons. clear mid gold thin white lasting head. Its got a clove type spice which is frankly horrible to me in the flavour. Rest of beer is just ok. Nasty flavour in this though. Settles down a bit but still not good clean english style bitter dry and fine re rate john oldcastle 3.0

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. Brilliant amber with a loose white head; the Kentish hops clearly stand out in the perfumed aroma; it’s lively in the mouth, with sweet carmael hops at first then some assertive hops giving a smooth, mellow, peppery, finish. A really pleasant bitter.
