[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading] An amber pour with a thin white head; light caramel aroma; crisp and sharply bitter from the start with some citrus and toffee; then a drying finish. Missing the creaminess I associate with steam beers.

Cask at the Hope Tap, Reading. Superb condition yet again, this Spoons has got their cellaring spot on at the moment. Copper coloured with an off-white head. Digestive biscuit with a bit of spiced orange. Moderately bitter finish; the bitterness is maybe a tad heavy for the lightish flavours. Ok I guess.

Cask at Lime Kiln, Liverpool. Pours a bright copper with medium sized off-white head and good lacing. The aroma malts and marmalade with some hoppy hints. In the mouth it has biscuits, caramel and malt, along with some traditional hops. Finish is slightly bitter. Can’t say much more really as I was served an unexpectedly (very) hot curry at the same time ! Needs a rerate.
