Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Roms (JDW), Bristol March 2015. Copper coloured with a slight, off-white, head. Sweet and malty, with a touch of stone fruit and moderately bitter finish. OK.

Cask at the Pump House, Shirley. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is light malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a big woody hop, light citrus palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A great session beer.

Cask at the Victoria Station Spoons - London. Pours clear orange-gold with a frothy, off-white head. Somewhat bland aroma, a bit of dry bread, wood, earth, dried fruits. Light sweet flavorbwith assertive leafy bitterness, lightly toasted grains and grass, leathery berries. Light in body with fine carbonation. Rather nicely balanced to finish, with the leafy and grassy bitterness cleaning up well, balanced out by lightly toasted pale malts. Undertones of dried, leathery fruits, berries. Quite good overall.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Cask. Almost clear deep gold beer, residual pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry and has modest fine carbonation. Light malts. modicum of sweetness. Hops are juicy ripe tangerine with floral bitterness. Traces of apple and peach. Finishes smooth and dry. Bitter linger. Not bad, pretty drinkable.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - light and elusive. Taste - lime leading into orange and then marmalade. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a fairly good tangy finish. Overall - not easy to drink but good.

Cask at the Eric Bartholomew, Morecambe. Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Aromas of caramel, not much else. Taste is at least refreshing. Slightly sweet finish.
