Keg at Horse & Groom, Chobham. Herby citrus aroma. Hazy pale gold. Foamy white head. Medium-heavy bitter. Some mirroring of the aroma but a big dose of quinine. May be my imagination but also seem to be some underlying buttery tones. Light bodied. Thin if slick. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Very dry as advertised but a tad too harsh.

Half-pint, cask, after breakfast at Manchester & County (JDW). Shared with Finn. Deep mahogany coloured body, off-white head, spotty lacing. Mid-sweet earthy malts on the nose. Taste of caramel malts and biscuit. Dry malt-driven end. Pleasing. (Manchester 25.01.2020).

Cask at the Hope Tap JDW), Reading. Deep chestnut colour with a thick creamy beige head. Lots of chocolate, dome stewed fruit, spice, and a winey woody finish. Sweet with a touch of dryness. Really tasty, easily the best beer I've had from Loddon.

Cask ale, half-pint shared with Finn at Greyfriar. Film-type layer, bubble on the surface, clear warm golden body. Sweaty hops on the nose, hints of grain. Ripe citrus flavours with a backdrop of leafy hop bitterness. Fair enough. (Reading 20.10.2019).
