Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury. Deep gold, thin beige head. A slightly citrus hoppy bitter. It’s fine. Not much on the malts, not much aroma. Nothing wrong with it, except an absence of any real flavour.

Half, cask at Barony Bar in Edinburgh. A few patches on top of a nice, deep brown body. Light smell of dark malts. Initial taste of sharp edged malts, ending up with a more bitter, dark fruity touch. Moderately sweet [14.11.2008].

Cask, half pint cask at The Bow Bar in Edinburgh. Brilliant copper-brown body colour. Very low head, just covering the surface. Shortage of smell, except for hints of ginger. Initial ginger taste leading to an unwelcome vinegar touch, partial saved by late arriving hops. 24.10.2008.

Half pint, hand pulled cask at Halfway House, Edinburgh. Clear, golden-amber body with a lacing head. Plain hoppy aroma followed by a tasty content of grapefruits and pineapples. Lingering dry bitter endnotes. Medium palate. A well blended IPA. 24.10.2008.

Half, cask in perfect condition and served at the right drinking temperature at the Halfway House - a gem of a small pub in central Edinburgh. Copper-amber body. No head, but nice lacework on the glass. Floral fruity smell. Fruity taste with dry apricot and developing bitterness to the ending. Rounded and refreshing. 24.10.2008.

From tap at the Brew Wharf. Pours dark brown to black with a fully diminished, initially tan head. Hard roasted malty aroma. Light liqourice annis seed note to a rather dry and mild spiced brew. Ends medium bitter and dry, ligt spiced. Light bodied but rather flavourful.

From cask pours dark brown yet clear and towards golden with a minimal white head. Chocolate and roasted malty aroma with a bit of bitterness showing through. Smooth malty finish. Smooth breadish note too.

Half pint in well kept shape served at the right drinking temperature at Cask & Barrel in Edinburgh. Pours a jet black body with some ruby highlights. Low, light brown head. Inviting, rounded smell of sweet dark malts. Comprehensive in flavour with a nice blend of black coffee malts and dark chocolate, even with the support of dark fruits. Developing bitter ending. Likeable (23.10.2008)

[handpump at the Oakford Social Club, Reading] Somewhat bizarrely, the pump clip suggested this one one of a series of monthly special beers named after footballers haircuts?! Bright gold, minimal head. Faint hoppy aroma. Taste initially very bitter, some egginess, a lot of hops, but by the end this is tasting as light as the ABV suggests. All round this is on the poor side of average - yet another monthly special that has the feeling of a rebranding of a failed batch. I’m pretty disappointed that this was my landmark 200th beer. NOTE: looked like a golden ale, but tasted like a bitter, so have classified it as the latter.
