Cask @ Salopian. Served a little too warm. Pours a deep dark brown, small off-white head. Aroma seems quite sweet. Taste presents a sweet malt character reminiscent of Thorntons toffee. Fairly dry finish with a light bitterness. Not bad.

Cask at the Post Office Vaults, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a thin broken white head. The aroma is grainy malt, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light smooth, skunky malt, floral woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation and a lingering bitter finish.

Cask at Deep Ellum, 5/5/17.
Clear, bright goldenrod-beeswax with a firm white head atop. Looks to be in great condition.
Don’t get too much of the cascades in the nose, thankfully?, but there is a bit of leafy green goodness and certainly some citrus that could certainly be from almost any American hop. Obviously they didn’t go overboard on the hops here and thankfully a mineral-rich yeast, clean and sparkling, shines through atop fairly snappy base malts. Light grain, hints of marmalade and a touch of bread sit on the clean finish with no alcohol or resin noted.
A good helping of malt, nicely attenuated but still providing a soft, supple texture, kicks things off and adds honey, biscuit and light white bread. Moderately fruity yeasts mix delightfully with the gentle citrus character of the tastefully done hops while mineral and water sit on the finish. Light, quenching, watery and highly flavorful as a good cask bitter ought to be. Particularly impressed by the strong malt texture here, despite the high attenuation, and the restraint shown with the hops.

Cask at the Post Office Vaults, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is skunky malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a light watery grainy earthy cardboard malt light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Pretty awful I must say. Way too light all round and with little flavour. Struggled to even drink a half of this.

500ml bottle from Brewer’s Stand at NEC Good Food Show - Deep ruby black body, off-white head. Nose and taste are standard roast and toast, coffee, chocolate and liquorice. Not too bad.

Bottle from the brewer’s own stand at the Good Food Show at Birmingham NEC. Brown-black with a beige head and a light fizz. Roasty malt and chocolate in a rather light body. Pretty average.

Sampled @ GBBF Day 2. Clear golden color, average sized white head. Smell and taste both are quite faint. Perhaps the slightest touch of hops in there, but hardly detectable. I’ve had much better from the UK brewers at this years GBBF.

Cask @ Ginger Goose, Bradford. Blonde with a sessionable texture, and hoppy in character.
