Pours a clear rich golden colour with a small creamy off white head. The aroma is bready, some malt and grassy hops. A similar bready taste, toffee malt, some grassy hop bitter flavours. Good body, smooth and moderate bitterness in the finish. Very nice.

Cask at Alfred Free House, Upper Hale, 16/03/17. Vague malty aroma. Light chestnut. Thin white head, with 50% coverage. Light bitter. A kinda lemon-melon sourness. Malty. Medium bodied. Pleasant soft carbonation. Slightly astringent finish. Nice. ’Soft’ is the key word. However I would have never pegged it as a brown! Drops a point.

Cask at Jolly Sailor, Farnham. Nil aroma. Light amber. Creamy thick head. Sweet/umami. Malty with a caramel underside - caramel digestive? Develop a some bitterness towards the finish. Light bodied. Soft carbonation. Slipped down but a capitalised LOW KEY. I’ve already forgotten what I was drinking.

Bottle from Bitter Virtue Soton and drunk at home. Dark brown mahogany colour lasting beige head. Some soft chocolate flavours. Brown malt on aroma with some malty flavours and aromas some dark fruits. It’s a pretty standard brown bitter. Some bitter on the finish. It’s fine. A little watery maybe.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. A straw coloured pour with a thin white head; yeasty aroma; a soft floury body with soem farmyard flavours; then a dry finish with a fresh grassy herbal bitterness. Definitely Belgian in inspiration, but rather unassuming.

500ml Bottle - Copper with a small head. Chestnuts, blackcurrant and some slightly roasted notes in the aroma. Nutty taste with caramel, chestnuts, cocoa and blackcurrant. A nicely balanced bitter.

Straight from the cask at the Horseshoe Inn. Pours straw gold with no head. Aroma is sweet and fruity, and there’s peach and flowery notes in the taste. Really very pleasant.

Cask (Red Lion, Overton) - Golden in colour. Grass, straw, citrus and white bread in the aroma. Grain, grassy hops and a hint of lime can be detected in the taste. A great lager from a British brewery.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. A bright pale straw colour with a thin, scummy looking, cream head; cereal grain aroma; crisp in the mouth with a slightly sweet, grainy body; then a light grassy bitterness, with a drier finish. Very fresh, an excellent pilsner, just the thing for a summer lunchtime in the beer garden - unfortunately everyone else has the same idea, so the deer who can often be seen in the field at the end of the garden have been scared away.
