Cask at the Old Cannon Brewery, Bury St Edmunds. Pours very dark brown with minimal off-white to grey head. Aroma of sour berries, apples, chocolate and roasted malt. Medium sweetness, medium bitterness, very light sour to taste. Medium body, oily texture, flat carbonation. Described as a stout elsewhere and it's more a stout than a mild, and after the initial surprise of the (by design) sour, this became the best of the 3 on today's taster board.

Cask at the Old Cannon Brewery, Bury St Edmunds. Amber with a rocky white head. Woody and astringent aroma. Taste is malty and gluey. Not sure I should be drinking this, maybe I should be making a model airplane with it. Medium oily body. Not my sort of thing at all.

Handpull cask from the brewpub. Golden brown with a reddish hue. Visible carbonation in the clear body. Tiny head. Low aroma of grain, gardenia, toffee, berry. Tasty enough, with a basic bitterness that lifts it and carries to the long finish. Itโs got flavour, and itโs certainly refreshing to enjoy at the source. However it lacks any kind of originality.

Cask at the Grain & Hop Store, Cambridge. Reddish brown, slightly hazy. Sour smell of rye whisky, a bit bready. Sweet malty taste with enough of a hop flavour to give in depth. More bitterness in the finish. A basic beer but quite good.
