Cask at Craft Beer Co. - Clerkenwell, London. Poura clear gold with a fine, light white foam head. Biscuity malt nose, some dough. Medium sweet flavor, lots of pale and doughy malts, mild hay bitterness, hints of ripe citrus. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with modest crunchy hay, more doughy malts. Pretty basic overall but it’s a tasty, easygoing beer.

Draft at the Craft Beer Company, Clerkenwell. Pours a clear lucozade colour with a tiny glass hugging white head. The aroma is smooth, creamy and caramel. The flavour is of rich malt toffee and caramel. The bitterness is low as is the carbonation. An unusual and tasty Christmas beer.

A few pints of cask ale at Christian Firtal. Almost clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of grassy hops, with fruity and floral notes and a touch of sulphur. Sweetish full bodied malt flavour with a faint caramel note and lots of hops. Mostly grassy and spicy hops, with a wooden note - English and European character. Do I even need to mention that it’s another delicious Crouch Vale beer in perfect balance - hardly surprising.
