Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 4/8/2015. Golden with a thin, white, head. Aroma of hay, stone fruits and leafy hops. Easy drinking, with more fruit, some cereal malts and decnet, bitter, finish. Good.

Handpull cask at the Great Western, Wolverhampton. Copper and clear, with not much obvious carbonation. A tiny flurry of white head at the top. Honey, chestnut and grain aroma... the smell is very light so not a lot gets through. It’s got a lively little taste though: herbal sweet interspersed with and almost tannic bitter. Not a lot to it, but that’s the point: an easy-drinking session beer.

Handpull cask at the Bulls Head, Sedgley. Dark brown, clear, fairly flat. Roast malt aroma, with a hint of vinegar (this beer may be slightly off). Sweet taste, hints of chocolate and caramel chews. Light body. A decent mild but far from exquisite.

17th June 2015: keg half-pint at The Codsall Railway pub. Poured into a tall BCL badged glass it looked your typical lager/pilsner: clean, clear and golden yellow with a white head that didn’t hang around long. Not a lot of aroma or taste, refreshing with the sort of hop/malt blend that equals each other out by cancelling the traits of each ingredient. It was OK, necked it as my train was coming: made me burp.
