@ Bunch Oโ€™ Grapes, Caerdydd. Amber, bright. The aroma is primarily of caramel. Bland, caramelly character. Quite a boring pint.

Cask at Jdw at Birmingham airport. Aroma is dried fruit and some bready malt. Taste is some bread, some faint apples with a yeasty bitter finish. A little watery. Not the best session bitter.

50cl bottle from Morrisons. Gold with a thin white head; rather thin with a sweet malt flavour and gently bitter finish. Rather plain and ordinary, but at least thereโ€™s nothing wrong with it.

Cask, full pint, handpulled at Wetherspoons The Flying Horse. Cellar cold, according to the pump clip. Amber in body colour, quite clear, and with a tiny, beige head. Withered floral aroma. The taste gave some of the same withered impression with moments of caramel malts, dry hops and a touch of spices. Rounded bitterness. Drinkable, but lacking freshness and far from being in its best condition (at Gatwick airport, 08.08.2009).

Cask, Bridge Inn, Middleton-in-Teesdale, Co Durham. Not expecting too much from this as Iโ€™m not a fan of Greene King at all, but served in good nick this wasnโ€™t too much of a calamity. Dark amber with a medium off white head. Some fruitiness in the flavour which was caramel malt based and slightly thin. Clean and fresh though, and thus passable.
