Cask @ JDW Shrewsbury Hotel. Pours golden amber, off white head. Very light malt on the nose. Taste is rather bland, thin, light malt, some nutty glimpses but essentially forgettable.

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Bronzey-amber with an off-white head. Caley's usual toffee malts with (for them) a slightly higher than normal hop bill. The moderately bitter leafy hops are ok, but clash badly with the sweet toffee. Could be better, but not as bad as some Caley's efforts.

Third of a pint in my local Wetherspoon pub on 15th March 2018. Golden/amber body, white head with lacing. Malty molasses in the nose, the taste also has a semi-sweet malty base, the hops coming into their own late within the flavour and not showing at all in the aroma, my sweet tooth liked it.

Cask at the Hope and Champion, Beaconsfield. Poured a clear dark amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, yeasty, dry hop. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a sweet malt, yeasty, light medicinal woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Coming to the end of the cask I believe.

Cask @ White Hart, Todmorden. Clear golden with a creamy head. Has a grittier tasting tropical fruitiness with a strength to it that leads to caramels evident in both its aroma and aftertaste.
