Cask from Woodmans Rest, Shirley. Cloudy amber with off white creamy head. Semi tart citrus and mango with a floral resin and toffee. A bit cloying in the mouthfeel but decent hopping for a bitter.

Thought I’d drunk this before because pump clip looked very familiar, but apparently not. Must be my typical avoidance of beers with silly Christmas names. Anyway, cask at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a golden amber with a decent sized off-white head and good lacing. A few floral hops in the aroma but nothing much. More floral hoppy bitterness in the mouth, plus mango and pine with lurking undertones of caramel. Some bitterness in the finish too. Reasonable but not utstanding.

Cask @ Jack In The Box, Manchester. Copper-amber with a glow and a frothy-bubbly head. Mango is evident in both aroma and taste, with the latter much more stated and lingering for a while. There's hops too and a mild dryness.

Cask gravity at Firkin Alehouse Folkestone. Clear gold amber colour lasting white head. Yes a golden bitter. Very butter on the finish. English style hops i guess. Decent condition and flavour. Fine.
