Cask at O’Briens, London. Pours a clear, rich gold with a foamy-bubbly white head. Light toasted dough nose with hints of grain and leaves. Light sweet flavor with some toasty bread, light dough, mild leafy bitterness and faint dry berries. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Basic and fairly bland on the finish with some toasty leaves and faint bread, along with suggestions of apple. Pretty bland overall.

cask at the Anchor, Sidmouth. Deep copper-amber colour. Malty background, some hops in the finish. There is a shy fruity touch present at all times.

Cask handpump at The Wheatsheaf (I think) Edith Weston, Rutland 14.05.11 Golden in colour with a mid sized white head, in good nick. Decent hoppy tasty session beer. Can’t believe I hadn’t rated this before and I must admit it surprised me, not bad at all. A6 A4 T6 P4 Ov12 3.2

Cask at the Basketmakers’ Arms, Brighton on 5th April 2010. Clear copper, very little head that disappears quickly. Light citric hop and sweet maltiness, just a touch of grass. Shortlived sweet finish on a watery mouthfeel. Not a favourite.

Cask@GBBF2008. Aroma is malts, some hops and hints of earth. Flavour is smooth caramel malts, earthyness as well as some hops. Wellbalanced. Rather dry wooden bitterness in the finish.

Cask at the Brunswick Arms, Derby. Gold with a thin white head; malt aroma; malty and slightly sour taste; dry hazelnut finish. Pleasant but not very exciting.
