Can at Herbert Wells, Woking. A moist yeasty hoppy aroma. A hazy jade. The off-white head soon ebbs away. Medium bitter. I found that the palate distracted from the taste, being extremely chalky and dry. Just didn’t quite work for me. Although would have finished it if I wasn’t full of curry.

Cask at Swan, Farnborough. Feint malty aroma. Amber/jade. Good thick white head. Blotchy. Light bitter, which gains in strength but not to much strength at all. Light to medium bodied. Watery. Carbonation comes through towards the end. Long, if weak, finish. Another BBB - bland boring bitter.

Cask at Swan, Farnborough. Light floral aroma. Light chestnut. A very healthy off-white head. Sweet with some umami hints. Berries and maltyness. In fact gets progressively sweeter but not too much so. Light to medium bodied. Quite soft. Long finish, slightly astringent. Hasn’t had this for a while. Had written it off as a standard bland END but glad I was incorrect. Really nice pint.

Cask at White Hart, Tongham. Enticing chocolate and nuts aroma. Dark, with red tints showing in the light from the window. Good beige head. Light bitter through to sweetness. A sourness in the finish. Coffee and milk. Berries. Restrained in taste but not an issue. Thick bodied. Creamy body, verging on fluffy. Enjoyable, it’s just the sour element to the finish which loses points.

Cask at Swan Inn, Farnborough. Sweet floral aroma, what there is of it. Dark amber. Off white head, but unattractively blotchy. Light bitter start, then increasingly sweet. Bitter aftertaste. Fruit, berries, some malt. Light bodied, almost frothy. Easy drinking.

Cask at the Bear (JDW), Maidenhead at 5% ABV. An attractive reddish chestnut colour with a loose cream head; slightly sour, earthy aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a malty caramel taste; then a dry finish with a spicy earthy bitterness.

Cask at the 8th Hampshire Octoberfest, Basingstoke. A reddish amber colour with a translucent head; malty aroma and taste; then some crisp herbal hops with less impact than I’d expect from a green-hopped beer; leaving an unexpectedly sweet finish.

Cask at Swan Inn, Farnborough. Slight sweetness but not much of an aroma. Medium gold - super creamy head. Slight bitterness, medium creamy body. Sweet. Banana. The bitterness comes throgh in the finish. Golden Ales tend to be boring but at least a tad interesting.
