Cask at the Simeon Arms, Ryde during the IoW Jolly. It pours clear amber-brown with a small white head. The nose is toasted grain, earthy, grassy, caramel and brown bread. The taste is bitter-sweet, wood, earth, grass, caramel and orange with a dry, sweetish finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Nice bitter-sweet balance.

Cask (Man in the Moon JDW, Newport) - Copper in colour. Dried fruit, caramel and some slightly earthy notes in the aroma. Fruity and fairly rich taste with notes of marzipan and Dundee cake dominating.

Atypical bitter in that it is apparently made with wheat. Thin, off-white, sticky head, warm and pretty bronze colour, clear. Somewhat strange aroma of iron, bitter honey, tomato, parsley, grass and caramel. Dry mineral-like onset, restrained fruitiness, some caramel malts in the background, vaguely sourish hint, bit metallic, finishing in mild grassy hops but also a bit watery. Unusual for its style.

Cask @ GBBF 2014. Smooth fresh beginning. Nice malty ale character with a nice undertone of floral earthy hops. Hints of pine and wood. The aftertaste is smooth, not too bitter, dry-malty with a floral hint. Nice!
