Cask @ Costello’s, Stockton Heath. Clear golden with a creamy head. Light session bitter with an easy-drinking low malt and lower bitterness.

Half, cask ale at The Grain Loft, Manchester airport. Clear amber coloured body. Naked surface, fragile lacing. Smell of leafy hops and mild malty sweetness. Taste of grainy malts, grass and yeast. Drinkable, however not in its best shape (04.02.2015).

Second beer of my ’Dunham Massey 4’ tasting evening. Brown 500ml bottle, best before August 2011, some three and half months away when tasted. the beer is bottle conditioned. Pours a clear light amber, golden colour. The thick white head that was initially there fell away slowly to a thin wispy covering, but did leave some good lacing on the glass. Very little aroma, as is often the case with UK bitters, some slight hop and malt esters as the beer warmed in the glass, otherwise nothing for my nose to find. The taste was predominately of hops, but only mildly, this isn’t a hoppy bitter, it just doesn’t have a lot of malt flavours. Mid-range in the body stakes for a UK bitter, neither weak or strong in anything, just a middle of the road session beer, like so many others being brewed up and down the country.

Bottle 500ml - Bright copper colour. Sweet malty aroma with slight smokiness. Well balanced flavour of malt and hop. Quite dry and refreshing.

Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Gold with a thin white head; aroma of apples; sharp apple fruitness in the mouth; then a solid, slightly spicy, bitter finish. A reasonable session bitter.

Cask gravity at Pigs Ear BF 07. Amber, nice enough bitter. Good meaty earthiness. Decent hop on end. Fine. Classic English crunchy bitter.
