Cask at GBBF 2009. OK, this was the last beer of the day, and I’d had a run of unimpressive of UK cask beers, but this was one I really liked and remembered. Gold colour, lasting cream head. Some peppery hops, decent malts. Good hoppy finish. Impressive one off brew I thought.

[Keg at the Steamer Inn, Shanklin] Black with a thick, creamy nitrohead. Very faint carbonation. Roasted malt and coca-cola flavour with a little granite in the finish, but all in all a little weak and watery.

Cask@GBBF2009. Deep golden colour, small white head. Aroma is hops, grass, some fruits and also quite big on the maltyness. Flavour is much the same with some slight nutty and earthy notes. Smoothly balanced.

Hazy amber color. Nice aroma, a bit hoppy, grassy, maybe manure, fruity in the beginning. Caramel flavor, good round body, strong bitterness. Pleasant without thrills.
2008-11-03, Cask Conditioned at J.D. Wetherspoon - Shakespear’s Head, London, 5-3-4-3-8=23
Amber color; creamy head. It has a good caramel and malt flavor, lighter aroma; unfortunately there is a strong presence of chemicals or cleaning products (without the chemicals, maybe 6-3-7-4-14). Really controversial.

[Cask at Back of Beyond, Reading] Deep orange-amber with a slight white head. Oh, wow - this smells amazing. Deep, rich scents of fruit, malt and spices swirl enticingly above the beer. Its rather a let-down that the flavours are not a patch on the aroma - its a decent, fairly sweet and fruity winter ale. The texture is rather too smooth for my liking - it could do with a few rough edges to hang more flavour on. Funnily enough I might have enjoyed this beer more without the lovely smell - you wouldnt then have had quite the level of disappointment when the taste didnt live up to it.
