Cask-conditioned at the City Arms, Cardiff 18/3/2015. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Earthy malts, a hint of caramel, some orange fruits and moderately bitter finish. Good.

White Hart, Nicholsons. Cask. Clear amber beer, small pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and smooth and a little dry. Modest carbonation. Good marmalade hops, touch of fresh orange. Whispers of lemon and hop spice. Smooth dry finish. Pretty decent if a tad flat.

Hand-pulled half-pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 1st May 2014, one of thirty four hand-pulls available at their beer festival. Red hue to this amber brew, a beige head sat on top. Dry and Rye with something else in the mix: I thought it different and interesting, the guy next to me hated it! Mild citrus notes gave it a extra twist and overall it pleased me, the 5% ABV being well hidden by the flavours and dryness.

Keg @ The Rake. I really need to take more notes when I go out to these places. All I can remember is this tasted great, the rye really taking a back seat to those hops and a good bracing bitterness.
