Cask at the Sir John Oldcastle, 29/03/15. Very lightly hazed golden with a decent off white covering, good lacing ensues. Nose is pale malt, light bread, citric peel, straw. Taste comprises bready malts, orange, grass, citric notes. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. So so, looks and feels good but doesn’t deliver at the business end.

Cask at the Monks’ Retreat (JDW), Reading. A slightly hazy straw coloured pour with a tight cream head; sweet grainy aroma; grany body with some floral hops giving a light bitterness; and a smooth biscuity finish. A pleasant light spring ale.

Cask at the standing order. Pours clear golden, thin white head. Aromas of creamy butterscotch. Taste is more creamy caramel. Sweet finish. Not for me.
