Cask@Ship and Mitre, Liverpool. Pallid golden looks with minimal white head. Citrus hop prevalent in the nose. Bitterness a little wide of the mark somehow and lacking balance overall. Not bad, but not something I’d want to session particularly.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Rich gold pour with a foamy, white head. Grassy hop aroma, notes of dank, skunky cheese. Lightly sweet, but dominated by the hops, lots of grass, resin juice, some pine. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sticky, oily finish, dank, lingering grass, earth, cat pee. Has a very raw, fresh hop character. I guess some raters just can’t handle the hops.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Dark, clearish brown with a moderate head. Dry, ashy roasty malts on the nose. Just the faintest hints of sugar in the flavor, then lots of dry, ashy, burnt wood bitters. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Dry roast finish, lingers long time. Not bad.

[Cask at Reading beerfest] Brown with a loose off-white head. Floral smell, tastes of roasty malts with hints of lemon. It’s good, but not up to the Windsor & Eton Conqueror I’d had just before.

Mason & Taylor single hop fest. Clear brown beer, no head. Light palate, low carbonation. Semi dry. Good malt, just very slightly roasty. Nice piney hops with a trace of orange fruits. Good bittering finish. Not bad at all.
