Bottle. A clear, pale golden beer topped by a small, white head. The aroma reminds me of a toast needing more time in the heat, with some strange fruityness and grass. It’s full to medium bodied with a nice carbonation. Grains and some fruityness in the flavor, a nice bitterness in the swallow. Not very good this one, and quite weird too. 140228

50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. A brilliantly clear copper coloured pour, with some light carbonation and a thin off-white head - one of the most attractive looking beers I’ve seen for a long time; slightly earthy toffee aroma; full flavoured with a good balance between the sweet caramel and the sourness of the fruity hops; the finish is smooth with strong English hops giving fruit, spice, and some resin, combining with silky chocolate from the malts. The best bottled beer so far from West Berks - long may they continue.

Cask at the Half Moon, Windlesham - 2013 - ABV 5%. Dark chestnut with a loose beige head, and a raspberry red gleam; Aroma of richly roasted matls and purple fruit; the taste is of sweet chocolately malts with some fruity raspberries and plums; then a dry malty finish with a touch of spice. Not the full-on Christmas pudding of a beer I was expecting, but still jolly tasty. (31Dec2013 7/4/7/3/14=3.5)

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell - 2015 - ABV 4.3%. Deep chestnut with a cherry red gleam and a scant beige head; earthy aroma with some treacle; berry fruit taste, with a light spicy bitterness; then a sweet biscuity finish with lasting chewy malts. Satisfying. (3Dec2015 6/4/7/3/14=3.4)
