Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Amberwith a thick creamy head and a light fizz. Great condition on this one. Sweet malt up front with a touch of toffee. A little mineral character but not enough to be distracting. Solid earthy bitterness and a touch of blackcurrant. Slight peppery tingle. Good balance, good flavour. Very nice bitter actually, but it’s not a Christmas beer.

Healthy looking golden ale with a thin creamy head, but also a thin bodied texture that isn’t so pleasant. Its understated aroma is of wild fruit, little of this is found in its taste.

Cask at the John Russell Fox (JDW), Andover. Deep chestnut with a compact cream head; malty aroma; thin in the mouth with a malty body with some red fruit; adn atouch of spicy English hops to finish. A rather ordinary bitter, and not very Christmasy.
