Cask - Oddly like wet horse and some herbal notes. Clearish copper with a bubbly head. Sickly sweet syrupy caramel with some more horse and hay. Bitter and sweet, but not very pleasant.

Craft Holborn. Cask. 10% version. Fresh batch? Clear gold beer, tiny white head. Palate is light and semi dry. Mild fine carbonation. Light sweetish malts. A whisper of smoke, well buried. Sweetish orange marmalade. Crystallised fruits, tangerine noticeable. Subtle banana ester. Little hop spice. Just a trace of aniseed alcohol but there is no heat here. Juicy fruits before a light finish. Spicy linger. Very easy drinking indeed. Nicely done.

Cask at the Cask’s 5th birthday bash, 05/07/14. Clear golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is earthy hops, dungy tones, rural agriculture, bitter citric peel, sweat, light booze. Taste comprises earthy hops, pretty raw feel, light mineral bite, toasted pine, spice, bitter grapefruit. Full bodied, moderate carbonation, a little sticky and slow moving. Too hot and not much balance, a great example of why DIPA’s should be on keg !!!
