Cask @ Urban Tap House, Cardiff. Incredibly dark brown with a perfect tight khaki head. Scent of mocha, raspberries and whipped cream. Taste is sweet and creamy but ultimately noncommittal. A decent beer, I’d have it again (and again...)

Cask @ Bear and Billet, Chester [220314] [From memory as notes lost]
Amber colour, clear, white head. Remember this as a fairly standard session bitter but better than usual. Light caramel malt, soft bitter hops. Finish did have some more hop in it....recall this as a 3.1

Cask @ Bear and Billet, Chester [030518]
Golden, clear, dense white head, good lacing
Aroma - soft lemon, soft fruits, light sweet pale malt, good nose for abv
Taste of lemon zest. quite citrusy, light sweet pale malt, clean, fresh, strong flavour for abv, really good flavour
Palate - Light body, little oily so not so watery, some sharp lemon zest, very refreshing. Finish is a bit dry, bitter zest, light malt background, bitter linger
Overall - Well put together, really good pale ale
Cask @ Bear and Billet, Chester [220314] [From memory as notes lost] 8/3/7/4/14
Pale blonde, dense white head. Good aroma of sweet tropical fruits and mango, especially for the abv. Similar tastes as I recall, very light pale malts, nice soft sweet tropical fruit citrus hops. Palate was fairly light, good mouthfeel for the abv, good bitter sweet balance, finish was clean. One of the best beers on the trip.

On cask at SIBA BeerX - Deep black, thin tan head. Nose is liquorice, coffee and burnt chocolate. Body is a bit thin, but the taste is well rounded enough, with a very clean finish.

50cl bouteille @ RBBWG III, thanks Tinus. Dorée, col blanc léger. Arôme est fruité citronné noble en dominance malt anglais restant très basique sur qcq effluves caramel et ce côté noble caractéristique des ales anglaises. Note vraiment pas une influence du Cascade. Palais est ici aussi très anglais d’inspiration avec des pointes de malt et caramel, houblonné finement amer, nobles, fini sec et grains. Bière anglaise des plus typiques.
