Cask at the Crown, Horsell. Caramel biscuit and citrus aroma. Medium gold. Creamy thinnish head. Builds in bitterness. Hoppy but with a malty core. Some citrus. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft to flat carbonation. Dry finish. It's OK. Hoppy enough for the ABV but a it flat.

Keg at Brewdog Reading. Pale gold with a thin white head. Light pine and grassy notes, and a wispy hint of grape. Oddly salty. Thin body. A bit anaemic through and through. I mean, yes it's drinkable, but it's also utterly forgettable. Poor compared to the Brewdog Live Dead Pony Club I pitted it against. Surprised it's got such high ratings on here.

Cask at Pig’s Ear 2017. It pours clearish golden with a white head. The aroma is sweaty, oily, wood, dull citrus fruits, grapefruit rind, resin and some apricot & peach. The taste is dry, biter, oily, resinous, grapefruit, orange peel, pretty pithy, zesty, straw, wet grass and dried florals vibes through the finale. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. Certainly wouldn't have clocked this blind as such of a low abv. Decent.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Almost clear gold beer, thin white head. Palate is light, dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Good citric hops, orange and orange peel, decent hop spice. A little lemon and tangerine. Light crisp finish leaves a marmalade linger. Nice one.

1/2 Pint Cask @ Parcel Yard. Clear golden, creamy white head. Nose is white grape hop, nicely fruity, big flowers. Taste is far more mellow overly grainy doughy almost touch sweet, bit more neutral but still some low white great. Doughy cask bodied, near watery. Still quite fair especially at 2.7 % ABV.
