[Cask at GBBF 2004] A light brown beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is sweet malty, and so is the flavor, but in the flavor there’s also some spices - but I can’t pick them out.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An opaque brown beer with a small tan head. The aroma is sweet and roasted, with some notes of coffee, while the flavor is sweet roasted with a bitter coffee finish. Great flavor.

Nut brown, creamy off-white head. Flowery Cascade hops with honey sweetness in the nose. Light to medium-bodied, mildly hopped. Ok session beer but quite ordinary real ale.

Cask conditioned at the 32nd Cambridge Beer Festival, gravity dispense. One of the craziest beer names so far - chris_o told me it’s adopted from a Cream song (I guess I should have known that). Dark brown colour, low head, some natural carbonation. According to the CBF programme it’s "a little too hoppy to be a classic mild" - still it is not VERY hoppy, just the typical Southern English dusty hoppiness. Aroma and flavour are malty with some caramel (but not really sweet), some cola notes.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Amber colour. Intense hay aroma. Superb fruity rounded maltiness. Full bodied, yet very quenchable. Long salty, really bitter finish with some resin. Outstanding in it's simplicity.

Hazy amber; potent dry hop aroma; wonderfully leafy, foresty hops and lingering bitterness. Damn fine, well worthy of its third-place finish at the 2002 Champion Beer of Britain.
