(Cask at Fly in the Loaf, Liverpool, 25 July) Colour is amber with a thick white head. Nose is malty with dried fruit, apricots and some dusty hops. Taste is malty with notes of dried fruit. Rather neutral/clean taste. Spicy hops in the dry bitter finish. Yet another ok bitter.

Cask handpull at Folkestone Wetherspoons. Black beer with thick bubbly beige lasting head. Porter is such an under made and under appreciated style, every brewery should make one and brew it on a regular basis, it’s a great style. And this is an interesting version. Odd burst of hops on aroma. You expect roast malt/choc/coffee or sour liquorice, but it’s choc hop instead. In mouth there’s liquorice and choc and then tight hop bite on the end with more liquorice. Interesting hop/liquorice/choc balance

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful, clear amber with an off-white head. Lightly tart, malty nose. Medium-bodied, some nuts and caramel with a rather dry and hoppy finish. A wheat beer, but not that different from a straightforward Bitter. Thanks to tbone_ for this 010506 and 210908

Casked. Dark ambersish/ruby colour with minor head. Aroma weak of bakingpowder, weak spices and some hops. Flavour is mostly watery (Weakflavoured), with some hints of malts, flowery hops and soap. Quite a disappointment from Okells...

Bottled. Golden colour, small white bubbly head, leaving a bit of lace. Hoppy fruity aroma with some metallic hints. Straight forward hoppy fruitish and hayish flavour. Easy to drink, but kind of boring.

Cask @Beer Hunter’s
My local brewpub bought a hand pump and I had an opportunity to sample their first pint. This one was familiar before bottled, so it was quite exciting to taste. Color was pale yellow-orange, suprisinginly firm white head. Fresh flowery nose. Hoppy, flowery, citric. Good hoppy aftertaste. Enjoyable IPA.

Cask handpull at Fly in the Loaf, Liverpool. Copper colour with creamy head. Seem to use a tight sprinkler. Yeasty session bitter with goodish hop finish. Bit metallic. Even still tasty session beer. Bit thin around the edges but core yeast/caramel/hop falvours hold together well. A bitter that is bitter

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet flowery hoppy, and so is the flavor.
