Cask at Victoria Wetherspoons, London. An amber coloured pour with a slight head. Fruity aroma. Tastes of caramel, malt, slight hop taste, pretty bland really. Maybe this was not a good sample but I was expecting so much more.

Cask, handpump at The Penny Black, Bicester, Oxon, 18-04-10 Pours a lemony colour wth a slight haze, otherwise looks good, there is a light sprinkling of bubbles on the top. Aroma is quite delicate, some petals, bit of rose? sweet and floral in mouth touch warm maybe. There is confectionery sweetness about this, its fine but would have been much better without such a sweet edge. . A7 A3 F6 P3 Ov13 3.2

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Great condition. Lovely head. Yes cheese yeast aroma, it’s ok, got great character, but not sure I like it that mcuh. Decent best bitter, good hop on finish. It’s like Sheps Kent’s Best but a bit hoppier, good lasting bitterness. Plenty of yeast character.
