Handpull cask at the Med, Cambridge. Mahogany, translucent with a big creamy khaki head. Clove, khaki, cress and redcurrant aroma. Disjointed. Taste is sugary sweet with a bit of earthy fruity hop underlying the sweetness. Herbal notes and glacé cherry in the aftertaste. It’s pretty good, in my opinion could use a little bit of tweaking.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 7/11/2016. Near black in colour with a moderately sized, off-white, head. Aroma of plain chocolate, charred malts and liquorice. Flavour had more chocolate and charcoal notes before a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Handpull cask at the Med (Turpin’s Brewpub), Cambridge. Mid-brown with a definite ruby glint. Some whitish head as well as generous lacing. Malty aroma with some heady dough, berries, toffee, and a hint of watercress. Take is markedly bitter and uniform throughout the sip. Long bitter finish with some vegetal notes in the aftertaste. Full body considering the ABV. A nice standard bitter, nothing too get excited about but it’s nice to try a new beer from this brewery.

Cask at the Mill, Cambridge. Very light golden-honey brown. Lotus biscuit spread, grass and a hint of orange peel in the nose. Light, bittersweet taste with a hint of hop. Basic refreshing palette. Unexceptional but a good example of a light English bitter. Welcome to Cambridge, new brewery.
