Cask at Baker Street, W’Spoons. An amber coloured ale with a good fluffy white head. Really nice fresh and fruity aroma. Easy drinking ale tasting of fruit with a nice slight bitterness. Pleasant.

Cask handpump, The Penny Black, JDW, Bicester, Oxon-18-11-09 Pours warm gold in colour with a white head, there is a hint of haze to this, barmaid really struggled pulling this one through it appeared very, very lively. Nice citrussy hoppy aroma. Taste has a pushy citrus (grapefruit) hoppiness about it with a nice layer of sweet malts to balance things out, brisk and breezy sort of beer, you’re sort of expecting it to be more hoppy and zappy than it is, but its actually a very drinkable sessionable hoppy beer., leading to a few hoppy burps. The festival is over but there are still a few festival beers on offer and this much like the others on offer this evening is just £1.39 with my a CAMRA 50p off token. A7 A4 F8 P4 Ov15 3.7

Cask at The Penny Black, Bicester, Oxon, 07-11-09 The third of my third pints that I had had this with the Large Breakfast, as previously mentioned I always go fo the Large Breakfast and can state quite categorically that I’ve never yet completed one. Pours black with tan head, malty nose but there is also some fruit showing. Malty in flavour there is a hint of bitter dark chocolate, nice stuff. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask at the Babington Arms (JDW), Derby. Amber with a low, dense, off-white head,leaving lots of lacing; aroma of pine resin; silky smooth in the mouth and full of resinous hops; short well-hopped bitter finish, leaving a pine resin aftertaste. In one word - piney - if that’s a word!
