Cask @ Market Porter with Magic Dave6 and Mes. A pretty well balanced ale. Golden color with thin white head. Malts and hops aroma and taste. Overall ok but rather uninspiring.

Cask-conditioned at the brewery tap, the Griffin, Frome 6/12/08. Copper coloured with a moderate off-white head that left plenty of lacing. Sweet, malty aroma with some earthiness in the background. Flavour began with a touch of caramel before a hint of citrus hops and decent bitter finish [3.1]. Good. Re-rate at the Cross Hands, Winterbourne Down, S Gloucestershire November 2009. This was greatly improved, with juicy new world hops throughout, balanced with some decent malt sweetness and a good dry finish [3.7].

Cask-conditioned at the brewery tap, the Griffin, Frome 6/12/08. Pale amber with no head. Sweet, barley sugar aroma, with some red fruit and grassy hops. Flavour was very sweet, with a hint of marmalade and short dry finish. Alcohol in the 2008 version is pretty well hidden. Ok.

Cask@Market Porter. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is vanilla, wood, some fruits and nectar. Also some mild grassyness. Flavour is very much the same, quite a bunch of sour fruits and grass in it, compared to the aroma.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet 08. Gold with thin bubbly head. Bit of rubber on aroma. It’s alright, some hop, but too much rubber for me. Rest is ok, but unsurprising.
