Cask somewhere in Penzance. Clear amber body with a small white head. Not much aroma, very mild, slightly toasted malt. Flavor is very smooth and soft malt, hint of caramel, some kind of general fruitiness and mild, pleasant bitterness. A very decent classic Bitter. Fine balanced body and OK aftertaste. Classic.

Cask at the Railway Tavern, Chelmsford. Pours ruby brown with a small lasting off-white head. Not bad.

Fra cask på Exeter Inn, Topsham 29 Sep 16. Veldig mørk gyldenbrun. Luftig filmskum. Lett maltaroma. Smaken rosin & svisker. Blir tørr etter hvert.

Cask ale, 5 % abv, half-pint, at Exeter Inn. Bubbly beige head over a deep mahogany coloured body. Spotty lacing. Attractive aroma of dark malts and dark fruits. Flavoured with berry fruits and dark caramel malts. Malt-fruity finish. Medium bodied. Pleasant (Topsham 29.09.2016).

Cask at The Abbot Cork. Cloudy brown with a thin head, ok lacing. Dried plum aroma. Flavour is dark sugary fruit, a kick of malt with a light bitterness in the finish. Palate is dry English ale.

Cask at the Half Moon, Windlesham, 27/07/13. Dark amber/light chestnut brown with a moderately sized beige head. Nose is bready malt, hop backnotes, light caramel, ribena berry notes, darker fruit tones. Taste comprises berry fruits, light sugar, touch of caramel/toffee, dark fruits, bready malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation - this cask is on good form, light bitter notes in the finish. Decent fruity ESB, I’ll happily return to this number.
