(Cask at Cock Tavern, Hackney, London, 28 Nov 2014) Reddish amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grapefruit, caramel and a touch of resin. Fruity, malty taste with notes of caramel, apricots, orange peel and a generous resiny bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Tasty and well made with a good hop character. Nice one.

Cask at the cock tavern. Deep red coloured pour with a lasting off white head. Aroma is red current, hop resin, light caramel biscuity, cranberry. Flavour is light resin, piney hop with some honey and assertive, dirty hop with light caramel. Palate is medium sweet with moderate carbonation. Lingering twigs and berry hops. Very tasty.

Cask at Cock Tavern. Clear amber color, small white to off-white head. Smell and taste malts, caramel, some kind of herb or spice that really annoys me, lightly sweet-bitter. Low to average body and carbonation.

RBESG pt 14. Cock Tavern. Cask. Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth with mild fine carbonation, semi dry. Smooth malts, whisper of toffee. Tangy orange with lesser marmalade and tangerine. Whisper of candy sherbet. Light semi dry finish. Tasty and easy drinking.
