Cask in a pub somewhere in Shoreditch on the way to a Parquet Courts gig. The place stank of varnish or pain thinner or something. The new Truman set up seems to have taken over the couple of pumps available in here...still can’t remember the name of the place..pretty sure a member of the animal kingdom was involved in the title. Anyway, enough waffle- Amber pour with a white head. Bit of citrus in the nose (hard to detect it through the bloody varnish smell permeating the place). Vanilla and citrus flavour. Light bitter finish. Not bad.

Cask at the Defectors Weld, Shepherds Bush. Amber-chestnut with a moderate off-white head. Caramel, chocolate, dry leaves, a touch of smoke and a sprinkle of spice. Sweet with a mildly dry finish. Tough enough to stand up for itself directly after a US IPA, and pretty pleasant to finish the night on, but maybe a little too sweet to session on.

Cask at the Cambridge, Nicholson’s - Soho, London. Pours clear, bright gold with a creamy white head. The aroma has doughy white bread, some tangy citrus. Light to medium sweet flavor with simple pale malts, cereal, grains, hay, wet straw, lemon rind. Light bodied with fine carbonation and creamy texture. Sweet finish with marginal bitter straw, faint plastic, tangy lemon and white bread. Mediocre stuff, really.

Light sweet flavor with a decent citrus component, lemon and tangerine, a bit of dry hay bitterness, pale bread. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Balanced finish with further lemony hops, dried pale malts, light mango. Good effort overall. Quite drinkable. (November 2013, Score: 3.7)

Cask pint, as Truman Swift Golden Ale, at The Tabard, Turnham Green, Chiswick - a nice Taylor-Walker pub. ABV was 3.9%. Served at cellar temperature. Deep golden colour, low white head, leaving some lacing in the glass. Moderate aroma, more malty than hoppy. Smooth flavour, medium malty with a hoppy bite in the finish.
