Cask at the Duke of Edinburgh, Woodside, Berkshire. Hazy amber with a thin white head; simple malty aroma; thin and malty taste with some sweet jammy fruit; and a dry, dusty, biscuity finish. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it’s very basic.

Glowing copper coloured ale with a diminishing head. It’s a smooth dry bitter with a medium bitterness. Some malts in its aroma.

[Cask at 5% at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading] Pale amber, slight off-white head. Straw, caramel, a little orange, a hint of spice and a slightly dry finish. Doesn’t taste it’s strength, and is rather light in both colour and flavour for a Christmas beer, but as a bitter it’s perfectly acceptable if a little dull.

Cask at the Bear (JDW), Maidenhead. ABV 5.0% according to the pump clip. Amber with a tight cream head; malty aroma; sweet fruity malt flavour with a satisifying richness, then developing some crisp, sour, bitterness, before a biscuity finish. Rather good.

Bottle from ASDA. Amber with a decent, if short-lived, off-white head. Aroma of sweet malts, red fruits and a touch of toffee. Flavour had plenty of caramel, slightly bready malts and a gently bitter finish. Ok.

A malty golden ale with a small creamy head. Has a poor scuzzy aroma but the smooth biscuit flavour is more pleasant.
