13th Nov 2012: hand-pulled half pint in The Crown Inn, Oakengates. Clear amber with an off-white head that left some impressive lacing. The nose and taste were of fruity hops and semi-sweet malty molasses, the body depth fine. The blend is fairly well balanced but overall it was just a run-of-the-mill seasonal for Poppy time.

Playhouse Spoons, Colchester. Clear amber beer, residual white head. Palate is light and crispy, semi dry. Fresh malt with traces of bubblegum and banana esters. Reasonable (for the style) hops provide bitterness and a little orange fruit. Finishes semi dry. Slightly elevated from the morass of bitters.

Cask at the Elm Tree, Cambridge. Dark mahogany pour, with a thin broken bubbly tan head. Weak aroma, leading to a nice malty, slightly bitter flavour. Some smooth citrus notes on the palate. A very drinkable session ale. The English mild is back!
