Cask handpull at Wetherspoons Victoria. Clear deep gold colour lasting cream colour head. Oh goody another pale ale. With some tropical fruit and some citrus fruit. Light bitterness on the finish. Light sherbet hop character. Some lime flavours. Again it's fine. Nothing amazing but competent I've been a bit harsh. It's better as it goes down.

Looks great. Red brown with nice creamy off white head. Taste is a little bitter with malt and caramel. Bang average brown ale. Meh!

Hand pulled third of a pint in The Moon Under Water, (A Spoons in Hounslow) on 7th March 2025. Bright and clean golden amber body, white crown. Tropical/citrus leanings in both the nose and taste, it's almost a typical Oakham citrussy brew if you know what I mean?

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Dark brown with a beige head. Caramelised nuts and chocolate syrup with hints of ash and liquorice. An interesting and quite enjoyable flavour actually. Sadly it's badly let down by a very thin and watery body. Such a shame.

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Blonde with a white head. Tastes of pink grapefruit and peach. Sweetish. Flavours could ideally be a bit more punchy but they're pretty pleasant nevertheless. Yeah, a decent brew this. I do like antipodean hops.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A dark chestnut brown pour, almost black, with a scattering of beige head; toasty aroma; thin and watery in the mouth with a hint of chocolate syrup; and a dry finish with some chocolate and unpleasant spices. Not to my taste!
