Cask @ The Oxford, Kentish Town, London NW5, UK today. Amber coloured bitter with a small, white lacing head which dissipates to zero after around 20mins. Aroma commences with bready yeast notes then develops nuttiness. Flavour bordered on the savoury with very slightly salty tinge; moderately bitter in the initial kick with a finish that becomes increasingly dry, hoppy and long. Zingy textured mouthfeel.The flavour survived after eating a plate of the pub’s excellent fish and chips.

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing yellow head. Light fruity hoppy aroma. Flavour is nicely fruity hops with a light sweetness and followed by a nice caramel malt flavour. Nice bitter and mild fruity finish.

Casked. Amberish copper coloured with small white bubbly head. Aroma is some caramel, wood with a nice fruity hoppyness coming along. Flavour is caramel malts with nice fruity and hoppy touches. Easy-to-drink thing, and rather refreshing.

Cask (Queens Head, Chelmsford): Amber coloured, small, but firm head; slightly fruity, a bit malty, mainly "medical" aromatic hoppy nose; light sweetish, mainly robust bitter flavour, light bodied; slightly sweetish-fruity and very aromatic, herbal-hoppy finish. A well rounded, hearty, tasty bitter !
