Fra håndpumpe på The Coach and Horses ved Covent Garden rett før Lion King-forestilling: lite aroma, lite smak og kort ettersmak. Her har de virkelig spart på det meste. Bra det bare var en halvpint.

Appearance- dark brown with a small foamy white head. Aroma- not much at all- a bit of malt, slight hints of raisin. Taste- bitterness, vague hint of raisin and biscuit, thin mouthfeel. You have to search quite hard for any flavour, but there’s nothing offensive about it.

Cask pints on 28 Jun 2013 at The RAF Cosford WO and Sgt’s Mess Summer Ball (of all places). Not bad, remember it being a bit thicker and richer from years ago: this seemed to be a watered down version. Looked OK: amber/golden brown body with a full off-white cap. Malts, semi-fruity nose and taste, a decent enough blend but missing deep flavours and oomph. Moved onto dark Rum and Coke after three pints.

Cask at the Tin Goose, LHR T1, 25/01/13. Clear copper golden with a thin bubbly white head. Nose carries pale malts, light summer fruit, background caramel notes. Taste comprises summer fruits, light malts, some hop presence, grain. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation, some bitterness in the dry finish. First time I’ve had this in 10+ years and you know what - it’s a well balanced simple bitter and perfectly drinkable. I think this beer (in my mind) has picked up a stigma of being a dud because it is a default choice in the Shit Hole Arms (TM) and therefore I’ve had a number of bad pints over the years. Better than some of the latter day twig offerings by some distance when well kept, which it was here !

(cask@The Summerfield) A medium dark amber, with a creamy off white head. Aroma/taste caramel malt, nutty, only slightly fruit hop undertones, body is medium and almost 0 carbonation. Used to like this many years ago, now tastes distinctly average for my palate.

Soapy in texture and aroma, and soapy bitterness for its taste. Not too pleasant.

A nice medium brown session bitter. Quite plain with only a light hoppy finish. Not bad.
