Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with minimal off-white head and good lacing. There’s tangerine and floral hops in the aroma. In the mouth there’s an immediate fruitiness which resolves into mushy apples, floral and continental hops and grapefruit plus a hint of ginger. Finish is quite sweet. This is pretty good – certainly better than expected from the dreaded “golden ale” categorisation.

Bottle from House Of Trembling Madness. Black body with ruby highlights and a beige head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of Marmite and coffee grounds. Flavour of blackcurrant, earth and liquorice. Thin to medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Subtle and well balanced. I’d like to try this on cask.

Pours dark golden to light orange with the slightest bit of haziness. Compact, not so big white head; decent retention and nice lacing. There's a kinda soft malty foundation in the aroma, though i couldn't detect specific notes except for a reminiscence of cereals; vivid fruity (jam-like) notes follow with notes of berries, candied orange, slight grapefruit. Taste is a bit different from what the aroma suggested: cerealish malt base with hints of honey, a floral touch, fruity notes of candied orange, light grapefruit and citrus. Starts soft as the aroma suggested, with a sweet edge in the mouth, ends in excellent balance with a semi-dry finish that leaves a bit of bittering feel. Light bodied as obvious with average or slight below average carbonation; very easy and highly drinkable.

This is a Timothy Taylor beer I’d not come across before, but they do seem to have been brewing it for a number of years. Anyway, cask at Borough Arms, Crewe. Pours bitter brown with a small white head. Not much of a nose – just some vague maltiness. Malts again in the mouth, where it is slightly sweet. Some floral hops and hints of oranges as well. Finiah is a little more bitter. Reasonable.

Cask at Captain Cooks Östersund. What a delight it was to drink 6 pints of this....the quiz master needs his lubricant. No bloated feeling, no powerful tastes, but tasty enough to want more. Solid ale! --- Cask at Royal William IV, Lincoln. Only one this time. Easy going deep Caramel bitter. 3.3 to 3.2 (4/4/23). --- Cask at Captain Cooks, Östersund. I found this all rather bland and onlg saved by this funky geuze like aroma that was lingering heavily. 3.2 to 3.1.

Cask at Bishops Arms, Västerås. Thick lasting head. Very thin feel in the mouth but with recognisable Blonde cask taste. Quite astringent bitterness in the end. (29/10/22) --- Cask at Captain Cooks, Östersund. I can see where the bitterness comments comes from. It's hard to tell how good it is or not. Overall I enjoyed it though. Gives much for its abv. 2.8 to 3.
