Cask handpull at The Angel ’Sporks. Gold, lasting beige head. Looks in good condition. Decent golden bitter, very biscuity, muddy, hoppy aroma. Crisp and lightly biscuity in mouth, snappy hoppy finish. Like all Elgoods, it’s a good beer, not sure the hop balance works, but yes it’s a decent beer.

[i] [b] Cask at The Bell, Banbury, Oxon, 31-03-08 [/i] [/b] Pours golden with a medium white head, looks very nice! Good honey straight away but there is a nice stinging and surprisingly good bitter bite to this beer, nice hoppiness, and really rather tasty. That’s four very decent beers tonight I’m glad I was able to make the CAMRA meeting.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 30/3/08. Golden coloured with a decent white head. Sweet caramel aroma with a touch of grassy hop. Flavour had some sweetness before a suggestion of indeterminate spicing. A bit strange.

Bottle from Morrisons. Deep gold in colour with a frothy white head. Aroma of jammy fruit with some grassy hops. Flavour began with a touch of caramel before a hoppy finish. Good.

Cask handpull at Market Porter, London. Ruby with lasitng beige head. I’m guessing that it is supposed to be an old ale but can see it’s down as an ESB. A malty ashy aroma, but then too much caramel in the mouth and no sourness. But a tingly dry hop. As a darkish ale, yep, not bad, bit too sweet up front, but the hop stings the teeth on the finish. Interesting. A malt toffee hoppy beer.
