Cask at the Haymarket. Pours pale gold, light haze, thick white head. Light fruit aromas, light citrus, light butter. Taste is all this, but slightly watery. Slips down easily enough,but wouldnโt rush back.

500 ml bottle. Clear deep golden body with a small off-white head. Weak aroma with malt and a hint of butterscotch. Flavor is sweetish with a slightly harsh bitterness, hint of metal/blood. Medium body and short aftertaste. Rather dull.

Can. A clear, dark golden beer topped by a dense, white head. The aroma is mostly on the malty side, with a little fruityness. Pine cones and grass. Rather boring, and that goes for the flavor too. Caramel maltyness, some oxidation, grass, pine cones and a faint cheesy touch, not much bitterness. Medium body, soft and smooth carbonation. Short, bitter and bready finish. Nothing extraordinary going on. 140418

Cask @ Secklow Hundred, Milton Keynes. Amber with a quickly dissipating head. Not a lot going on in the nose. I smell an umami scent and then realise itโs my thumb. Maybe a bit of chocolate biscuit? Taste is muddled at first but ends with a crisp, short bitter finish with a slight sulphurous feel. Refreshing but almost no personality.
