Cask at the Crispin, Wokingham. Poured a brilliantly clear coppery amber colour with a thin white head; the aroma has some muted fruit; the flavour is predominantly biscuity malts with a touch of fruit; and a clean, dry finish leaving a biscuity aftertaste. Very drinkable.

Cask, handpump at The White Horse, Banbury, Oxon 05.03.12 Pours brown, good clarity with a slim white head. This is a textbook BBB, lightly fruity, lightly bitter, some caramel sweetness and with barely a whiff of excitement about it. Despite my rather boring comments on this beer, it was served in good nick, looked great and there was nothing wrong with it all all other than the fact it was a BBB. A6 A5 T5 P3 Ov11 3.0

Unimaginative ale, little nose, no distinct flavour, just a regular and below average drink.

[500ml bottle, gift from my wonderful wife - cheers!] Pours light amber with a moderate, creamy off-white head. Floral hops to the fore, with a bit of caramel behind. Bitterness is a little on the heavy side and is in danger of overwhelming the flavour. A little sticky in the finish which is once again floral and bitter. Pleasant enough, if a little one dimensional.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Clear dark red - brown beer. Residual suddy tan head. Insipid dark malts and insipid hops in a dry palate. A little soap. Finishes dry with a bitter aftertaste. Hard work!
