8/3/2025. Cask at The Windmill, Stansted Airport. Pours clear bright golden copper with a lasting creamy off-white head. Good pour. Aroma is very fruity, malts, orange, marmalade, biscuit. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness, slight fruity tartness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Nice bitterness to finish. Pretty decent.

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Deep gold with an off-white head. Light caramel and lemon; rather more straw and twigs. A pretty traditional British cask beer, but none the worse for it; it's quite drinkable and moreish.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear amber brown colour lasting cream head. Hoppy aroma
Rather an attractive golden bitter with some hedgerow hops and some citrus and a little earthy too. Almost Frys Turkish Delight on aroma . I thought pretty good bitter. Dryness on the finish. Good temperature and condition as I get almost always at this pub.

Pours a very nice looking deep amber to light red. Medium sized, relatively dense per style head, the slightest off-white. Good retention and nice lacing. Average to slightly sub-par intensity in the aroma. Less malty for the style than usual with more focus on fruitiness: moderate caramelly, slightly biscuity notes, with the slightest soft (perhaps slightly buttery) feel to them, fruity notes are orangeish with a half jam-like, half candy-like character to them, maybe a hint of apple, maybe an earthy hint. Again, average to slightly sub-par intensity in taste, notes more or less as per aroma, with earthiness showing up a bit more in finish/aftertaste and perhaps a floral hops hint. Medium sweetness, quite low bitterness, a bit too sweet for my ideal liking in both taste and aftertaste. I also think it could use at least a bit more malty depth, but still fine overall. Relatively light in body with average carbonation. Light sized but dense bubbles, resulting in a mouthfeel that feels quite softer and fuller than usual for the style; not at all unpleasant though. Overall a slightly unusual bitter; fine and enjoyable but i'm not 100% sure about the idea behind it.

Bottiglia. Un arco olfattivo dominato da orzo tostato e luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. La limpidezza si presenta velata. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma porta i segni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo rosa e mandarino.
