Cask at the Victoria Station Spoon-Spot - London. Pours clear, shiny gold with a creamy, white head. Fruity aroma with berries, ripe orange, some spices, maybe ginger. Medium sweet flavor with supporting bready malts, slight herbs, ginger spiciness, faint leafy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; OK condition. Sweet and lightly sticky to finish with sugary bread, crispy ginger, mild zesty orange. Novel and pretty drinkable.

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. Slightly hazy golden amber with a tight cream head; fragrant aroma; herbal taste with a grassy bitterness - I’m not a an Earl Grey tea drinker, so I don’t know if this was authentic; then a spicy finish. Interesting, but perhaps an acquired taste.

Cask at the William Webb Ellis, Twickers, 01/04/14, JDW Spring 2014 Fest Beer #13. Clear golden amber with a moderately appointed off white covering. Nose is herbal, Lucozade, spice, mandarin, Earl Grey tea bags, floral waftings. Taste comprises plenty of Earl Grey, trace of pepper, passionfruit, minty hop effect, jasmine, orange rind. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close with subtle hop bitterness. Ok stuff, they’ve pulled off the flavours well but nothing I’d be dashing back towards.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Cask. Almost clear amber beer, tidy cream coloured head. Palate is light and slightly soft. Mild fine carbonation. Smooth light malt. Big lemony eary grey with floral sweetness. A vague Liptons Lemon Tea vibe. Finishes smooth with just a little bitterness creeping in. Inventive and very drinkable.

Cask at George JDW, Croydon. It pours clear amber with a medium white head. The nose is herbal, grassy, floral, ice tea and candied orange peel. The taste is peach, apricot, nectarine, ice tea, oily, earth, light florals with a bitter-sweet finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Erring towards being too sweet, but bitterness brings it back in line. Taste very much like peach ice tea!

Cask @ JDW The Ice Wharf, Derry [290314]
Amber, clear, dense white head, good lacing
Aroma - Offbeat nose of lemon, big aromatic flowery tea, never smelt anything like this before in a beer, slight odd note in there detracts though
Taste - Huge floral tea flavour, aromatic, bitter lemon hops, pot pourri, sweet malts, emphasis is on floral notes, not much citrus, unusual overall flavour
Palate - Medium body, oily, quite sticky. Finish of sweet malts, big floral linger
Overall - Good stuff, unorthodox beer but could have been better tbh...1/2 pint was enough of this

Cask at Briar Rose; hazy golden amber pour with thin smooth white head, lemon tea aroma, taste has lemon along with tea some citrus a strange concoction.

Cask @ Regal Moon, Rochdale. Wetherspoon Beer Festival. Golden with a thin head. Very floral but with some sugary sweetness to it. The Earl Grey is very apparent in the aftertaste. Fairly strong and strange but likeable.

Cask @ Moon Under Water (JDW), MK. Very light brown, small head which stays full longer than most cask ales. Smells of fresh tea, jasmine, potpourri and classic perfume. Taste is a caramel sweetness overlaid with unbalanced spices. Taste too much like a Devon tea room and not enough like a Kiwi West Coast boozer.
