Cask @ Glengower Hotel, Aberystwyth. Clear golden with a small head. It's a sweet golden ale-cum-bitter, with a sticky sweet texture and a hint of berry-fruit here.

Black beer, bubbly beige head. Smell is dry, malty. Taste has a big hit of tangy, sweet dried fruit, some aniseed. It's decent but not worth the damage you could do yourself at this strength.

Cask at the Ale Rooms, Knowle, Solihull. Poured a slightly hazy straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, mineral, light woody hop. The flavour is light bitter with a light, watery malt, light yeast, light hop bitter palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Too light all round for me.

Out of date 275ml bottle conditioned, drank at a friends house on 5th July 2017. Mini haze to the golden pour, decent white crown on top. Light fruity nose with a malty, bready undertone. Taste also slightly fruity and again with a bread like trace or two. Pity it was just out of date when I got hold of it, scored as if ’new’.

Fra cask på Gatekeeper Cardiff 2 Mai 17. Kobberfarget. Lavt skum. Lett maltaroma. Smaken balansert. Tørket aprikos. Syrlig bitter avslutning. Blir veldig tørr etter hvert.
