Cask at the Kingsholm Pub, Gloucester, 02-09-06. Suprised that I hadn’t rated this before and also that it tasted better than I expected. Whilst this lacked in many departments it was a decent enough copper coloured easy quaffing ale that in a pub outside the Rugby ground I had not expected to find a half decent pint in.

Cask@The Tyburn, London. Amber color, tan head. Woody nutty aroma. Malty, nutty. Sweetness in the finish, some hops in the aftertaste. Good malt profile, nice session beer.

Cask. Clear, non-carbonating, copper-colored bitter with a small white head. Fruity aroma, with hops and lemon dominating. The flavor has a subdued maltiness as well. The body is quite thin and watery and the finish is fruity. More maltyness all the way would be nice. (060713)

[Cask at Birkbeck Tavern] An amber beer with a small foamy and disappearing head. The aroma is very slight. The flavor is rather sweet, turning OK bitter, but missing a little palate. An average Ale.

Rerate, cask at the Station Hotel, Ipswich: Aroma of English malt vinegar, hints of dishwasher liquid. Smooth flavour without too much character. Low on hops.
Original rating, 3.1: (Draught). I remember this one as a decent standard bitter, nothing remarkable.
