Cask in the Playhouse Spoons, Colchester. Near clear amber beer, good cream colour head. Smooth airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fluffy malts, a pleasant light creamy sweetness with a nice caramel streak. The quartet of hops bring a nice juicy ripe citrus with soft ripe lemon and lime and a whole bunch of complex but light flavours that are hard to pick apart. Light finish. Very nice, good malt base and a great hop delivery. Wish I could have had a pint of this.

Cask at Baxter's Court (JDW), Hackney before going on to see the superb Skating Polly at Oslo. Amber with an off-white head. Orangey caramel with a touch of twig. Sweet malts with mild bitterness. It's hardly what the name makes you think of (it's a big standard bitter), but it's fine. Easy drinking.
