Bottle at home ... Copper colour ... hoppy aroma ... bit over fizzy ... slightly metalic ... some hop there ... with a malt base ... its decent enough but not working for me that well.

500ml bottle from Waitrose. Bottle conditioned. Gold with an off-white head; fruity malt aroma, with some apple; rather thin but nicely balanced, slightly dry and spicy hops and a creamy sweetness;spicy bitter finish, quite warming. Unusual and interesting.

Cask handpull at Market Porter, Borough. Gold with lasting white head. Certainly has got smokey malt. Comes through on the aroma like a rauchbier. Weirdly it’s a classic golden ale beneath it. The hop is more muted, some tingle, but good dryness. I would expect the smoke to overpower the rest, but curiously it works.

Cask conditioned gravity dispense at Merton Winter Beer Festival 16-02-07. Fairly standard brown in appearance with a nice malty nose. I was quite impressed by this beer which had a lovely fruity chewiness to it and which lingered long in the mouth, it tasted a little weaker than it was but aside from that I felt that it was a nice malty, fruity good quality bitter.

Cask handpull at Grasshopper on the Green, Westerham. Gold colour with thin lasting off white head. Citrus earthy hop aroma. Bit of lemon and hay. Juicy malt in mouth. Pretty nice beer, very summery, straw/hay. Reasonable fullness in mouth and then increasingly hoppy finish. Bit of grapefruit. Really quite refreshing, but full in the mouth.

Cask Red-shot end-of-scale brown beer with a B.C."H.". Roasted, burnt malts, grains and rubber tyres’ burnout. But nothing like a Speedway Stout, mind you - it’s British dignified. Sourish taste, with fresh oakwood, dry bread malts, chestnuts, and in the finish slightly bitterish liquorice. Medium bodied, slickness apparent, grist- or charcoal-. Nice porter, not meant to be overpowering, delivering just the goods. The overall impression is thus better than the individual marks.

Cask handpull at Man of Kent, East Peckham. Very, very dark ruby with lasting beige head. Very tasty beer. Fresh yeast, choc and some dark fruit skin on the aroma. Nice dark fruits in mouth. Really lovely choc, damson, blackberry, blackcurrant flavour, but not sour. Lovely porter.
