Cask Handpump 14-04-06 at the Rock of Gibraltar, Enslow Bridge, Oxfordshire. Copper coloured, malty. some hops and a degre of sweetness, not too bad but I used to drink this frequently when in and around Devizes in the very early nineties especially at The Raven, Poulshot, this beer to me never seems to quite hit the mark as well outside it’s home area and when it became the guest beer of choice following the changes to the beer choice laws around that time. I am looking forward to being proved wrong at some point as a good pint of 6X is truly a top beer.

Rerate, cask at The Shipwrights, North Hylton, Sunderland. A nice little beer, this one. Aroma a bit like Marston’s Pedigree, but less pronounced. Smooth and mellow, fruit and nuts in the flavour. No true "masterpiece", but certainly a drinkable pint.

[cask] An amber beer with a small head. The aroma is a funny fruity one. The flavor is flat and funny - the same as the aroma. It tastes a little of cow - I can't really put it into words. A mystical beer - but OK.

Cask Conditioned [5-4-5-3-11]
Amber color. Average aroma and taste, even Cask Conditioned; it's lacking some fruitness and a good hopping. It's an easy to drink Pale Ale.
Bottle [3-2-2-2-6]
Amber color. Light, unpleasant aroma. Corn, peanuts and caramel taste, a bit too watery.
Better to forget...
