Cask at The Shakespeare: pours muddy light brown with a loose cask head. Aroma is light caramel and toffee. Taste is actually a bit of earthy bitterness. Also, there is a sorf of butterscotch finish. Somewhat sweet. ok.

Pours clear Amber into an English pint. Sickly head with good retention. Caramel aromas. Soft with dark caramel and mild raisin upfront turning to dry earth in the medium length finish. Highly sessionable.

Cask in Oxford. Amber / copper color. Light and thinnish body. Light malt, but with nice caramel flavor and decent hops. Not really exciting, but decent enough.

On tap at the newly refurbished Melville Bar. Appearance - honey with a decent head. Nose - malt and honey Taste - more of the same. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a reasonably clean finish. Overall - not unpleasant but neither does it do anything.

Dark gold. Aroma of hops and fruit. Taste is sour/bitter. A bland disappointment and a shadow of its former self. Currently a weak link in the Greene King portfolio.
