Cask @ the wonderful Wellington Arms, Bedford. Colour of dark gold/amber. Decent amount of head with extreme lacing. Light fresh grassy aroma. Unremarkable but inoffensive. Taste is nicely balanced between sweet and bitter. The maltiness shines through but is tempered by the bitterness. An excellent bitter from a class brewery.

275ml bottle at 3.6%. It’s labelled as best bitter under the Moondance logo and artwork, however this is nothing short of an American Pale Ale. it’s very hoppy with loads of tropical fruit character. Light golden in colour with little head but a small bitterness.

Cask at the Cask, Pimlico, 02/01/14. Mid black with a good sized dirty tan head that dissipates but retains. Nose is light roast malt, dark berry fruit, cherry, chocolate notes. Taste comprises roast malt, tarte cherry skins, earthy cocoa, subtle lactic tang. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light roast and a tarte berry fruit tang in the closure. Decent stout - does what it says on the tin, plenty of flavour for 4.4%

33cl bottle in a gift tube from Tescos. Amber with an off-white head; aroma has some yeast, fresh hops and orange peel; soft in the mouth with some zingy fruit and fresh green hops; and a biscuity, citrusy finish. Rather good; and great to see a smaller brewery getting a distribution deal for a Christmas gift beer of this type.

Cask @ Guide Dog, Southampton. Translucent dark brown. Looks lightweight. Aroma and taste say otherwise! Aroma is maltissimo, still flavours as diverse as cherries and earth come through. Sweet and light with sour edges. Bitter aftertaste. A brilliant mild which excels with complex aroma and taste while remaining a mild in character.

Cask at the Anchor, Digbeth, Birmingham. Poured a deep mahogany colour with a bubbly light tan head. The aroma is rich malt and liqourice. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with a liqourice, treacle, citrus fruit, spicy hop palate. A black IPA? I guess it’s getting there but it’s very much an Anglicised version.

Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm. Lightly hazy pale bronze colour. Rich hay-like hop aroma. Dry and crisp, yet firm with medium body. Bready malt, plenty of hay-like hops. Really bitter finish. Hugely moreish. A winner!
