[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A pale amber pour with a trace of white head; grainy aroma with a hint of tangerine; taste to match the aroma; then a dry bready finish. Not sure what the East Coast influence is supposed to be.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours “bitter brown” with a small off-white head. The aroma is just traces of autumn fruits and nuts. In the mouth it is basically bitter but with some underlying sweetness and somewhat watery. Flavour is provided by traditional hops and marmalade with hints of spice and herbs, Bitterness lasts into the finish. This is quite reasonable.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts and floral hops vie for attention in the aroma. In the mouth it starts off briefly sweet and juicy, but some underlying bitterness is soon detected, and this quickly increases. Floral hops, marmalade and tropical fruits plus hints of mango and kiwi. Finish is quite bitter and slightly dry. It’s reasonable.

Clear amber pour with a decent white head. Aromas of fruit (sweet citrus), malt and some flowers - taste quite similar. Decent IPA.
