Cask at the Gig House (JDW), Wokingham. Amber with a dense cream head; natural honey aroma; grainy body with an immediate sharp grapefruit bitterness that mingles with sweet honey to finish. Rather good.

[Cask at Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading] Light amber-gold, small white head, slight fizz. Toffee with orangey hints and some spice at the back of the throat. Going in the right direction for Christmas, but needs to be darker, stronger, richer and with more - well, more everything really. In other words, it’s a bit bland.

Cask at the London & County (JDW), Eastbourne. Golden amber with a tight white head; orange aroma; fruity, orange flavour that’s quite full on, then sweeter and lightly bitter with a touch of spice to finish. Quite appealing.

Cask at The Cleveland Arms with Lyoli, Xiaobo and Kevin. Pours clear amber with a foamy, slightly off-white head. Nice beer overall. Pretty basic but tasty. Nice toasty malts, some ripe fruits, bit of sugar. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish, very light leafy bitterness, toasty malts, fruits. Nice, easy drinker.

Cask @ Bon Accord. Dark copper colour, thin off-white head. Nose is soft malty, slightly sour with a bit of fruits. Flavour is light malted, bit of citrus, little fruityness. Slightly dry finish. Thirteen in a dozen bitter.

JDW Fest. Hazy amber, residual white head. Light palate, no carbonation. Semi dry. Insipid sweetish oraneg hop and dry malt. Doesn’t taste awful but was uninteresting to the point of being hard to swallow.

Brotiger Antrunk, weich, mild. Danach unscheinbarer, nicht unbedingt harmonisch, langweilig malzig, später auch muffig. Erst im Abgang wieder frischer durch Getreidenoten, etwas röstig. Insgesamt trinkbar aber unspektakulär. 7/7/7/8/11/7

Cask at the Penzance Weatherspoons. Sort of mixed fruit aroma. Flavor is some caramel and fruit. Very pleasant. Reasonably bitter.
