Cask gravity at Ealing BF 2009. Copper, slight haze. It’s not a bad hoppy beer. Decent bitter with good hops. Dryish. Almost gingerish on the hops. It’s ok, bit earthy.

Cask at the Falstaff, Derby. Copper with a thin cream head; fruity malt aroma; and rich fruity roasted malt flavour; finish is gently bitter and sweet. Not bad for a first attempt.

Cask@GBBF2007. Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruits, wood and slightly caramel. Flavour is very watery and mainly containing some wood and grassy hops. Not very exciting.
