2/10/2025. Cask at the Cricketers, Ipswich. Not a festival beer, they had none! Pours clear amber gold, small head, a brimming third. Aroma is hoppy, citrusy, grassy, malt, very slightly spiced edge. Started a bit sweet but some bitterness came through. A mellow golden. It’s fine.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A pale amber pour with a loose white head; hedgerow hop aroma; sweet chewy malt body with an immediate hit of leafy hops; then a very dry finish with lingering peppery hops. A crisp and hoppy bitter.

Cask at Moon under Water, Wigan. Pours golden amber with a small foamy off-white head and excellent lacing. There’s floral hops, pine and a trace of citrus in the aroma. In the mouth it is initially sweet with underlying bitterness, but that bitterness increases and comes to dominate. Flavour has floral hops, and hints of citrus with traces of spice and ginger coming through later leading to a sticky and fairly dry finish. This is decent enough until the yucky finish.

Cask at the moon under water Watford Jdw. A clear golden orange coloured pour with a lasting white head. Aroma is semi sweet, fresh meadow soft bready grains. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, fruity esters jammy berries, berry fruit loaf. Palate is semi sweet, light hop oils, good cask condition. Not bad. Pretty clean and easy going.
