Cask handpull The Market Porter, London. Pale gold, lasting white head. I’m guessing there is ome Willamette hop here somewhere as I am getting a blackcurrant edge. Good creamyness in mouth. A bit soapy hop citrus edge. Blackcurrant edge gives it character.

Cask handpull at Market Porter. Very pale gold, thin off white head. Decent golden ale, more hops than most beers in this style. Only a touch of soapy hop, mostly good sherbert. OK golden ale. I like Acorn. Decent spritzey condition.

On gravity at the Mermaid, St Albans 15/02/09. Reddish copper in colour with a moderate, off-white head. Aroma of fruity malts and leafy hops. Well-balanced flavour with some chewy malts, a hint of sweetness and a decent bitter finish. Good.

Cask gravity at Pigs Ear BF 2008. Dark ruby colour with lasting beige head. Bit of farty yeast on aroma. Drinkable strong dark ale. Not quite as good as some of the previous years. Liquorice on aroma, not great condition. Bit restrained. Decent.

Cask, Black Horse, Darwen. Clear golden colour with virtually no head. Vague sweetish citrus aroma that persists into the flavour with some muted hop. Dryish finish. Not too bad, just a bit boring.
