Keg at the cock tavern. Hazed golden Orange coloured pour with a sticky off white head. Some lacing. Aroma is fruity berry hop, lemon, grain husks. Mellow tropical character on the nose as well. Flavor is composed of solid, slightly earthy base grains, biscuit, tropical fruit, mango, creamy mango. Grainy finish. Palate is semi sweet and moderate carbonation, pretty good.

Keg at the Cock Tavern - Hackney, London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. Pleasant citrusy hops in the aroma, a bit of rind, pale bread. Medium sweet flavor with more rindy citrus, pale bread, tangerine, light piney bitterness, some melon, minerals, papaya. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous to close, with some gooey citrus that’s dried out with some cleansing minerality, balanced with pale bread sugars. Just a little grass. A nicely compelling IPA.

Three Johns. Cask. Hazy amber beer with a few lonely pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light and semi dry, low carbonation. Smooth dry malts, toffee and caramel. Modest ripe fruits. Little apple. Mild bitterness. A stodgy bitter, not short on taste but it feels like a throwback.

Cask at the Lyric - London. Pours clear yellow-gold with a white foam head. The nose holds grassy hops, pale bread, dry grain, lemon rind. Light sweet flavor with forward grass and pine bitterness, some pith and rind, biscuits. Light bodied with average carbonation; good condition. Moderately dry on the finish, with some hop oils, more bitter grass, citrus rind. Good, but perhaps a touch too bitter.

Cask at the Lyric, 16/04/14. Hazed orange amber with a decent beige covering. Nose is pale malt, straw, lemon rinds, light bread dough, tangerine. Taste comprises lightly smoked straw, citric peel, soft bread. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close with an earthy hop presence. So so, lacks hops and a touch too dry.
