Cask @ Bank, Manchester. Nicholson’s Beer Festival. Deeper golden coloured with a thick creamy head. It has initial biscuit and bread notes leading to tropical fruits and a spiciness that makes the ale fizz on the tongue.

Cask @ Coal Hole, The Strand. Dark amber with impressive head. Soft and muted fruity hop aroma with a hit of fresh bread. Taste is crisp and bitter with a dry finish. Quite good, more refreshing than many similar beers.

Cock Tavern. Cask. Pretty much a clear dark amber beer with a tidy pale cream coloured head. Palate is light and airy and with super fine mild carbonation. Very light malt with touch of sweet toffee and also a light coffee tone as if from a harder roasted malt. Tangy dried fruits with a light bitterness. Finishes smooth and semi dry. Malty aftertaste with a whisper of smoke. Not bad.

cask@Hare and Billet, Blackheath - pours dark brown with a reddish hue in colour with a good sized off-white head. Toasty and malty, some caramel, syrup, toffee/fudge, with some earthy herbalness to it, and medium bitter finish. Nice.

Sir John Oldcastle Spoons. Cask. Bright clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and dry with fine carbonation. Smooth palate with fine carbonation. Smooth pale malt, with light sweetness. The hops are mellow but flavoursome and juicy. Light fresh orange, touch of orange squash. Whispers of lemon and grapefruit but it is a juicy tangerine keeps me coming back for another sip. Little floralness. Finishes semi dry with a mild bitter linger. Good stuff, very drinkable.

Draft at Craft Beer Rising 2014 - Brick Lane, London. Pours clear yellow with a white froth cap. A very decent golden ale marked by simple, doughy pale malts, lemony hops and lightly bitter straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good balance on the finish, more of the same: doughy pale bread, faint juicy lemon, straw. Quite basic but it is easy drinking.

Draft at Craft Beer Rising 2014 - Brick Lane, London. Pours clear gold with a frothy, white head. Nicely balanced golden ale, plenty of pale dough and light, lemony hops. Light bodied with fine carbonation; good condition. Some light bitter hay in the finish augments the generally bready-doughy pale malt character. Fairly classic in nature. Basic but completely poundable.
