Handpull cask at the Job Centre, Deptford. Brownish gold and clear with a small film of white head. Malty aroma, strong hazelnut and a but of spiced citrus rind. Taste envelops you with sweet nuttiness followed by a decided bitterness. Decent body for the ABV and soft carbonation. A very good ordinary bitter.

Fra cask på The Stapleton Tavern (Finsbury): klar kobbergylden med tett cremeskum helt ned. Myk og behagelig med deilig maltsmak, nystekt brød, urter og barskog. Nydelig og lang ettersmak med fin bitterhet.

Cask @ Mirth, Marvel and Maud, Walthamstow. Golden with a thick frothy head. It has a gritty-hoppy taste in an ale that has a gritty-hoppy taste with a crisp easy strength.

Translucent pale straw colour. Dense and persistent bright white head and lacing that looks almost artificial. Aroma and taste of pale malt, American hops, succade, white pepper, lemon and lime. Bitter citrus in aftertaste. Not quite in harmony. From cask at Job Centre, Deptford, London, 25.02.22 after handing in exam in general quantitative research methods.

Cask at the Eltham GPO. Amber pour with a white head. Toffee malt and dried fruit aroma. Similar malarkey in the taste. Good.
