Permanent cask at the Star, Highgate, London on 18/07/09. Amber colour with limited off-white head that dies halfway down the pint glass. Sweaty yeast on the nose. Moderate hoppiness is partly rivalled by caramelly malt. Quite a dry finish on a pleasant mouthfeel. Natural soft carbonation. The beer felt as though it was served a degree or two below design temperature.

Cask-conditioned at the Town Hall Tavern, Leeds 23/06/09. Deep brown in colour, with a hint of red and tan head. Fruity, sweet aroma. Flavour had some caramel, red fruit and a slightly hoppy, bitter finish. Good.

Cask-conditioned at the Town Hall Tavern, Leeds 23/06/09. Sweetish, butterscotch aroma with some grassy hops. Flavour also began sweet, before a slightly spicy dry finish. Easy drinking.

Cask at The Harp, London. This ale is always on top form at The Harp. Lingering bitterness and of course plenty of hops. Dangerously drinkable ale.

Slightly dirty-yellow, good head over foxy orange beer. Caramel and "Petit Beurre " cookies; UK hops piercing through, lemony, inspiring. Bitterish-hoppy taste, mellowing afterwards with some good malts, cookie-like, grain biscuits with non-sweet glazing. Some faint esters. And above all, excellent balance. Spritzy, not fizzy, but very light British body. Despite my (well-deserved) words of praise, this beer is not a patch on the cask version, that is maybe the best bitter the UK has to offer on cask. What I don’t understand is: - why is the bottled version even .2% less strong than the casked, rather than vice-versa; - wasn’t Landlord not a bit stronger not that many decennia ago, and, - last but not least - why not bottle-conditioned???? Still. I just love TT Landlord, and as such, BIG thanks to DeanS!

Nice golden/amber coloured body with a tannish head. Aroma of fresh hops, a bit of malt and a light amount of sweet caramel. Light-bodied; Very mild flavour with some malt and hops coming through, as well as some alcohol. Aftertaste shows light hops, flowers and a tiny bit of alcohol. Overall, a pretty good bitter - light, but showing good character. I sampled this beer on draught purchased at the York in Islington, London, England on 30-November-2008.

Dryish dusty wooden caramelly aftertaste with resiny notes. Nice, extremely drinkable. (0.25l cask, The Bricklayer’s Arms, Putney, London.)

Small yellowish brown coarseish head. Barely translucent dark red body. Faint fruity wooden aroma. Dryish fruity faintly roasty taste with nutty notes. Lacking in complexity and depth. Extremely smooth and mild mouthfeel. Light body. No real aftertaste. Looks nice, but tastes very little, while still being an agreeable beer. (0.25l cask, The Bricklayer’s Arms, Putney, London.)
