Cask at Craft Room. Copperish-red body with a lasting white head. Raisins in the aroma, malt and raisins. taste... smooth, very smooth sweetish grainy taste, soft medium bitterness in the finish. Very much a simple beer, that ends up being slightly to watery and boring for my taste. Saltaire has much better beers than this.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Copper-amber with a slightly thin tasting winter fruit quality, the actual texture of the ale is medium to full bodied though. It’s advertised toffee notes are evident.

Cask at The New Oxford, Manchester. A hazy nut-brown beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, nuts, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and nuts, leading to a lightly dry, bitter, and nutty finish.

[Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading] Deep amber, off-white head. No fizz. Mouthfeel rather weak and watery. Sweet fruity malt comes through a little, but lots of sickly pear drops ruin it. Very poor I thought - was I drinking a different beer to everyone else here?

Cask handpull at The Market Porter. Light russet colour, lasting beige head. Good tasting ESB. Lovely fruity malt, good mouthfeel. Rather good. A little sweet maybe, but nice enough. Actually this is excellent. I arrived feeling a little jaded, but this got my mouth up and dancing. Some hop on end, but not aggressive.
