Cask at Richard John Blackler, Liverpool. Pours a golden amber wih a small white head and good lacing. Not much of a aroma – just some oranges faintly. In the mouth it is bitter and hoppy with grains and corn, plus oranges and some grapefruit lending a fruity air. Finish however, is the sticky bitter lemon / citrus which clings to the tongue and makes me want to throw up ! Too citrussy for my liking.

[Cask at the Claude du Vall (JDW), Camberley.] A hazy pale amber pour with a scummy looking cream head; orangey aroma; thick and syrupy in the mouth with a muddled fruity taste; and a chewy bitter marmalade finish.

500ml bottle from Co-Op, cracked and poured into a pint sleeve at our holiday lodge in Louth after a 4-hour drive. Pours a dark brown, pale mocha cream head. Aroma is nicely chocolatey. Quite a pleasant chocolatey character to taste, very mild coffee, soft grain. Not a bad beer at all, medium to light bodied, drinks very well with just enough flavours shining through.

500ml bottle. Poured a clear dark amber colour with a short-lived fizzy white head and lots of bubbles. The aroma is malt, and woody hops. The flavour is moderate to light bitter and sweet, with a malt, light sweet caramel, woody hop bitter palate. Medium amber to light bodied with lively carbonation. A fizzy ESB? No thanks.
