Half-pint, cask ale at The White Swan (JDW) in Islington. Clear warm golden body, covering off-white head that laced well. Inviting hop fruity smell, hints of citrus. Refreshing flavours of grapefruit and orange added by mid-sweet malts. Bittersweet fruity ending. Medium body. Good enough. (London, 02.03.2026).

Hand pulled half pint at the Wrekin Inn, Wellington on 23rd February 2026. Bright light golden body, white crust. Citrus front with a grapefruit heart and finish. Found it a little thin and uninteresting to be honest.

Cask at Pickled Pig, Stafford. Pours a dark reddish-brown with a small scummy creamy head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly roasted malts and chocolate plus some hints of biscuits. In the mouth it is briefly sweet before becoming quite bitter. Flavours are initially roasted malts, liquorice and dark fruits plus some hoppy hints. Traces of alcoholic strength and black wine gums come through later leading to quite a dry finish. This is decent.

Cask half at Cock & Hoop, Nottingham. Pours deep brown with a ruby hue, cream/beige foam. Malt, caramel, toffee, nuts. The taste follows, some dried fruits too, towards moderate sweet, very smooth. Medium body with fine carbonation. Very tidy indeed.

Hand pulled pint at the Crown Inn, Oakengates; 20th December 2025. Black bodied, tanned roof. Sweet chocolate feel, not too sure about a Mars Bar, but it did seem to contain caramel/toffee flavours.
