Cask @ Blue Pig, Manchester. Golden with a thin frothy head. Has a balanced malt-hop character with the latter aspect maybe more dominant.

Cask handpull at The Craft Clerkenwell. Dark brown clear colour lasting beige head. Green apple UK bitter that isn’t very bitter. Some malt. Wow a throwback beer. Brown malty some green apple some bitterness on the finish. It’s a bitter. Simple but I quite liked it for being so backward

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a small head. It’s hoppy with a small fruity nose but a malt-hop bitterness in taste. Medium-high body.

Fra cask på Cask Brighton 22 Jan 14. Gyldenbrun. Pent middels høyt skum som varer. Litt uklar. Smaken er svisker & frukt. Blir veldig tørr etter hvert.

Dark brown. Lots of fudgey chocolate stuff on the nose. Good full body, light roast, little bit of fudge and also background diacetyle that threatens to mess up the whole thing.

Light amber, decent, fruity yankeehop nose that is mostly citrus. Med bitterness. Mostly cascade, dull and syrupy. Probably this would be better on keg.
