Cask at the Waterfront, Battersea at a stated ABV of 4.5% and labelled as "Jo Jolly". A mid-amber colour, sweet biscuity malt taste, with a touch of honey; and some gentle leafy hops. Pleasant enough, but not particularly Christmasy.

Pint at the spread eagle Camden. Copper coloured pour with a loose persistent head. Aroma is nutty, twigger, sweet caramel and faint cinamon. Flavour follows with autumnal spices and leaves. sligtly sweet on the tongue.

Cask at The White Horse (EC2A), London. Labeled as ’Young’s White Horse Christmas Ale’ at 4.8% ABV. Pours copper-brown with a fine, creamy head. Toasty malts, some bread, berries, mild bitter leaves. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Moderately dry to finish, with toasty bread, crunchy leaves, modest dry caramel, more berries. Decent.
