Cask @ Old Bank, Turku
Aroma has fruity hops, grapefruit, some licorice and resiny tones. Flavour has resin, grapefruit, nettles, licorice, hints of ash and minerals. Also salmiac. Ashy finish. Most likely the first black IPA I am having from cask. Not bad, but could be less ashy. Also, this gets some bush leaves & vegetable tones after some sips.

(Cask at Viisi Penniä, 20141121) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was medium sized, white and it lasted long. Aroma had toffee, fruitiness and earth. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, earth, toffee, malts, caramel and bitterness. Afteraste was hoppy and bitter. A good mild hoppy pale ale.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading at 5%. Attached to the Liberation American Brown Ale tap- it was only after intense pressure that the barman admitted they’d connected up the wrong barrel and it was actually this- damn ’Spoons. Turned out to be a lucky error though as it was a bit of a cracker. Poured deep gold with a thick white head. Lovely smooth and creamy caramel malts up front give a great mouthfeel. There’s a big spicy zing and sweet orange, passion fruit and melon after. Lovely stuff, but still annoyed at missing out a Jersey rate.

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. A slightly hazy pale amber with a ring of translucent head; aroma of orange and malt; rather thin with an orange barley water taste; then lightly bitter with a peppery biscuit finish.

Craft Islington. Cask. Clear gold beer, no head. Palate is light and a little crisp. Smooth malts, semi sweet. Whisper of lemon, touch of floralness. Light semi dry finish. Simple stuff but tasty and drinkable.
