Cask at the Dog & Gun, Keswick. Cat was tricked into buying this for Justin by the humourously rebadged name of Woof and Bang Best Bitter. After it turned out that the Best bit of the name was a misnomer Justin generously shared it with me - thanks Jus! On the plus side I'd managed to avoid the GK House beer up until now so at least it was a new rate. It was dark amber with an off-white head. It tasted of toffee, stewed tea and damp, dirty twigs. Too sweet, and distinctly sub par. In short, everything I expected of a GK house beer and less.

Creamy light brown head stayed on a copper coloured body. Caramel, toffee, malt & light hop tastes with a bitter finish. Standard.

Cask. Amber bere with a cream head. Light citrus aroma. Light citrus and light caramel flavor. Medium bodied. Light citrus and light caramel linger.

Cask. Pours a clear deep gold with a near white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has light fruits and bread with grains as d a light sweetness supporting. Flavor has lots of bread and grain with a bit of leaves in the finish.

From cask at the Hare and Billet, Blackheath, London, 30.01.22. Amber golden. Fine beige head. Aroma and taste of crystal malt, pale malt, brittle, mellow hops and meadows. Good!

Pint from cask at Lass O’Gowrie, Manchester 07.05.15 and The Beer House, Victoria Station, Manchester with JFE 19.01.18. Clear dark golden. Dense and persistent beige head and lacing. Moderate aroma, with malt, grains and porridge. Lots of sweet malt, as well as porridge, grains and fruits in taste. Decent quaffability. Low bitterness. Perhaps a bit waterish.

Standard English bitter.

Cask at the Ram, Kingston. The barmaid told me that this was brewed by a local brewery and not available elsewhere. I suspect she was bullshitting and this may well be Landlords Choice. Their other two bitters were GK. Malty aroma, slightly sour. Clear amber. Frothy foamy off-white head. Light bitter. Big sour - I'd say intentionally - Citrus streak. Underlying sweet doughy malts. Malty aroma, slightly sour. Clear amber. Frothy foamy off-white head. Light bitter. Big sour - I'd say intentionally - Citrus streak. Underlying sweet doughy malts. It was OK.
