Cask at bod Matlock. Amber/dark gold, clear with a thin uneven off-white head. Grassy and herbal aroma, some honey, butter, metallic notes. Tastes a lot better, with malt notes delivering warm buttered toast, chewy caramel and a little stone fruit. Bittering hop on the long finish. Light body, soft carbonation. Surprisingly tasty.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Hold on, I'm sure I had this at Ye Olde Trip during the Nottingham crawl last July. Hmmm, anyway I'm rating it now. Dark cola coloured with an uneven beige head. Cherry cola aroma, or maybe the sort of artificial cherry you get from cheap candy. Tastes okay, some sweet malt notes combine with with the cherry, turning bitter in the unbalanced finish. So not perfect but good enough.

Cask pour at Bar Fringe in Manchester. Dark cherry colour with a thin head. Not the greatest fusion of cherry and dark malts, both are evident. Gave it a second outing in my home town and didn't change my mind much, there's an underlying sweetness to the fruit but perhaps not the most appealing of special brews.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

Cask at Sun Inn, Stafford Is slow to settle, but eventually pours a slightly hazy pale straw with minimal off-white head and good lacing. Aroma has some floral hops, but not much else. In the mouth it is initially sweet and creamy, but bitterness very soon creeps in, and it then fluctuates between the two. Flavour has floral hops, oranges, gooseberries, herbs, biscuits and barley sugar sweets. Finish is somewhat catty. This is OK, but it’s a taste that requires some getting used to.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. A light haze on this deep cherry red beer, good pale tan head. Smooth palate, soft and airy, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft creamy malts, a modest dark chocolate vibe, very modest. Reasonable fruity plum, juicy. Fairly dry finish. Nicely plummy but fairly dry.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. Almost clear deep amber red beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, fairly dry, decent fine carbonation. A very mild dark malt base. Bold maraschino cherry, much stronger than the piddly malt base. Light and semi finish. Good cherry affair but quite one note in its delivery.
