Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol, October 2013. Amber coloured with no head. A malty beer, with toffee sweetness, a hint of C hop and moderately bitter finish. Ok.

On cask at JDW in Coalville - Deep ruby coloured, white lacing head, nose of ripe berries and a bit of citrus. Taste is a bit metallic, with a piney undertone. After that it is a rather ordinary ale.

Cask at the Moon Under Water (JDW), Watford on 27 October. Poured a clear copper colour with a tight, thin white head. Malty aroma with hints of spice and orange peal. Flavours of dry cereal, caramel and some chalkiness. Finish is slightly astringent bitter with citrus peal and pine. Rather disappointing...

Cask, handpump at JDW, Hereford, Saturday 9th November 2013. Pours chestnut brown, actually lots of ruby red glinting through, very clear, mid sized off-white head. There is a strange bitterness, bit harsh, bit of washing up liquid, bit of bubble gum, but bitterness perserveers. Its ok but I’m not a big fan. A6 A5 T5 P3 Ov11 3.0

Cask @ Moon Under Water, Manchester. Darker copper with a head. Has a malty character but smooth in palate with some hops evident.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Cask. Clear amber beer with a small pale cream coloured head. Palate is smooth and dry with fine carbonation. Reasinable malt - not that sweet and carrying a bitter toffee streak. Astringent noble hop like bitterness. Not much citrus or fruity hop here. Dry crisp finish.

Cask at the William Rufus (JDW), Carlisle, 21/10/13. Clear dark amber with a good sized off white head. Nose is bready malts, fruity tang, bread dough, light caramel. Taste comprises dark fruits, cake mix, toffee. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light grassy bitterness in the finish. Another US collab brewed at a UK brewery you ordinarily wouldn’t bother with that looks and feels good but has feck all inbetween !

Clear, red-brown colour. It’s a sweet, fruity flavour. Easy to drink but quite plain.

Cask at Wetherspoons, Finchley Rd, London. Initial dose of bitter hops that soon dissipate, very mild caramel but generally nothing much to this beer.
