Cask Pale amber ale, with a very dense & fine, un-cask looking head. Woody, beechwood, over a slightly hoppy nose; taints of sweet malts, but definitely not very malty. A bit of doughy taste, dominated by pale malts. A slight background vegetable flavour. If only there were some POWER in this. LIght MF. Well, LIGHT, really. Aftertaste yields some ureum. Not my favourite. There’s some bhp missing.

Cask handpull at Royal Oak, Borough. Red copper colour with bubbly beige head. Distinctive Harvey’s yeast with some caramel. Good in mouth iwth yeasty, hoppy biting finish. Good flavour for a 3.5% beer. Just very interesting

Amber color. Light malty and yeasty aroma. Despite the low gravity, the mouthfeel is quite full, malty. And the hopping is generous, aromatic. Good

[Cask at Royal Oak, London] A hazy orange beer with a small beige disappearing head. The aroma is lightly hoppy, while the flavor is very fresh hoppy, oily, and grassy. Nice one.
