Cask at The Britannia, Marlow. Crystal-clear light copper with a thin white head. Digestive biscuits and a light dry bitterness up front, but then some hops emerge - a little lemon, some fresh leafyness and even a touch of a resinous mouthfeel. Despite the pump clip saying it’s an American spring ale, though, it feels very English. It’s pleasant and drinkable and gets better the more you have: probably the best I’ve had from this sub-par brewery.

Cask at the White Hart in Hertford - A better attempt from McMullen that was more akin to a light English IPA. Some nice bitter hops coming through and a clean mouthfeel. Still not great, but much better than so many other efforts from the brewery

Handpull cask at the Coopers Arms, Hitchin. Light to mid-brown, clear, a bit of floaty white head. Smells of egg, egg, rotten egg and egg. A bit of woody astringent notes but this is big time sulphur. Taste isn’t as bad, there is a medicinal astringency that isn’t pleasant per se but makes it bearable. Long bitter finish. No, not for me at all.
