Cask at The Hatchet Inn (Wetherspoons), Newbury, Berks. A golden coloured pour with a small white head on top. Vague hoppy aroma. Tastes slightly hoppy, malty, fruity. Rather bland.

Cask at the Cleveland Arms, London. Pours lear yellow with a tight, creamy white cap. Bright, juicy citrus in the nose, mellow doughy pale malts. Light sweet flavor with fresh tangerine, lemon, straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Pretty much perfect condition. Clean, lightly grassy finish, more juicy citrus fruits highlighted by lemon, bits of citrus rind, light doughy white bread sweetness, faint straw. Lovely.

Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear amber with a thin white head and broken lace. The aroma is malty with hoppy notes. The flavour is medium bitter and malty with a nice rounded bitterness on the palate and into the aftertaste. A drinkable session beer.

Bottle from Stirchley Wines, Birmingham. Poured a clear amber with a thin white head. The aroma is hugely malty, leading to a medium bitter, malty flavour with toffee and caramel notes. A super, well balanced, highly drinkable ale.

[Cask at the Falcon, High Wycombe] Light amber with a moderate white head. Mild creamy caramel is the order of the day here. There’s a light floral hint in the finish, but really it’s pretty bland and disappointing from a brewery that’s normally reasoanably decent.

A limited edition according to the pump label. Deep golden in colour, slight head. Fairly sweet aroma, not a high bitterness but a lovely texture.

Cask at Bricklayers Arms, Putney. It pours clear amber with a medium off-white head. The nose is wood, leather, dried fruit and touch of toast. The taste is wood, leather, leaf, red berry and subtle varnish, with a long dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A pretty tasty and well-integrated old ale.
