Cask at The New Oxford, Manchester. A hazy golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and hops as well as lighter notes of clorine and detergent. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of clorine and detergent, leading to a bitter and fruity finish.

Cask at The New Oxford, Manchester. A dark red-brown beer with a rim of brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt as well as a touch of soy sauce. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, roasted malt, and soy sauce - somewhat weird flavor combination. The body is light.

Cask, handpump at The Anchor, Birmingham, 14-12-09 Pours clear gold with a light bubbly white head. Taste is clean, but when you expect it to be crisp and bitter, its not quite got as much of the bitterness that I expected though this does start to build after a while. Its a decent beer, but as far as Acorn they can do much better than this. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Cask gravity at The White Horse, Hedgerley. Darkish brown, lasting beige head. Good decent brown bitter that no one makes any more. Lots of good dark brown malts. Some yeast on aroma. OK I guess a brown ale.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 2/12/09. Attractive, reddish-brown in colour with a decent, lacy, off-white head. This was dominated by bitterness, with a touch of sweetness upfront and not a great deal else. Not my favourite Acorn beer by a long way.

[Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading] Deep amber-brown with a large off-white head. Slight fizz. Deep, earthy bitterness at first, then lots of spice comes through (chilli and coriander?). Sweet malt mixes well with the spiciness and helps offset the bitterness. Still a little too bitter for my liking, but despite that a fine beer.

Cask, gravity at Oxford Beer Festival 15-10-09 I was getting very lazy tonight, I was working on the A’s and B’s so rarely ventured much further. Poured gold, touch of haze white bubbly head that quickly diminished. Nice IPA and like Bob mentions good spiciness from the hops, touch fruity and really quite refreshing, nice. A6 A3 F7 P4 Ov13 3.3
