Cask handpull at The Fly in the Loaf, Liverpool. Copper with thin beige head. Decent bitter. Bloody/iron aftertaste (thanks to the Scottish person at the bar next to me for pointing that one out). Not a typical citrusy Tring beer, but nevertheless quite interesting. Decent fruit and hop on finish.

[i] [b] Bottle from the Dodgi’ Deli’ Cowley Road, had this 21-04-08 [/i] [/b] Dark Chesnut pour with a rapidly receding tan head. Fruity and malty but a bit pushy on the alcohol front. Very nice beer with quite a decent tang, bit of an earthy quality and surprisingly bitter, this isn’t bad at all and if the alcohol was just a little bit better hidden it would score even more impressively.

Cask at the Plough and Harrow (JDW), Hammersmith. Reddish copper with a thin off-white head; unusual cinnamon and apple aroma; fruity malt flavour, again slightly spicy; balanced bitter finish. A nicely made but unexciting beer.
