Cask@The Elephant's Head, Camden. Golden colour with a small white head. Aroma is floral, some toffee and mild wooden tones. Flavour is sweet biscuity malts, some mild floral and mild lemongrassy tones with mild nutty elements too.

Keg draught at the Spotted Dog, Digbeth. Light to mid-gold, clear with loads of visible carbonation. A tiny little white head. Light malty and slightly metallic aroma. Taste is sweet but the sweetness doesn't run away with it. A little bit of dryness in the finish. Exceedingly heavy carbonation. It's a step up from the most macro of lagers, it's not a great beer but enjoyable enough with some decent flavour.

Creamy cask served at Dog & Gun - Keswick Bitter sweet, fruity tangy, malt & lightly hopped & citrussy tastes.

Draught, half-pint, shared with Finn at Rutland Arms. Clear late straw coloured body leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Pearl white head with fine duration. Modest smell of grass and pale malts. Moderate taste profile with grassy hops, ripe citrus and soft malts. Mid-dry finish, rather short. Easy going. (Hammersmith, London, 03.10.2023)
