Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. For some reason I was expecting a dark beer, so got a bit of a shock when it poured golden yellow with a small foamy white head and good lacing. There’s a little citrus in the aroma, but not much. In the mouth it is crisp, tangy, and somewhat sweet with floral hops and lemongrass. Some grians and hints of pepper as well. Finish is rather dry. Not bad at all – though a bit nondescript.

Cask at BeerheadZ Nottingham Station. Poured a clear reddish brown colour with a bubbly off-white head. The aroma is malt, floral hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, super dry, light roasty, floral, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

26/10/2021. BIAB sample courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear golden with minimal head. Aroma of musty green apple with a light funky edge. Moderate sweetness, tartness and body. Low carbonation. Bittersweet and light dry finish. Not bad.

BIAB at Nottingham Beer & Cider Festival 2021. Deep golden colour, no head and aroma of apple, alittle funk. Taste is tart, tangy apple, citric, zingy, with mucky funk notes. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry acidic finish. Quite OK

ORIGINAL REVIEW Cask at Golden Eagle, Derby. Another one I’m not sure if I should review as, after pouring it, the barman took a taste, decided it was going off, and gave me a different beer free ! However, this didn’t taste too bad to me. Poured a pale orange with no head. Nose was malts and oranges. In the mouth texture was slightly sharp with falvours or oranges, apples and a hint of caramel. Finish mainly oranges. Rerate required. AND HERE IS THE RERATE Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours bitter brown with a small cream head and good lacing. Aroma has malts and yeast, but not to any great extent. Malts again in the mouth where it is slightly sweet. Later some nuts and autumn fruits plus a trace of apricot. Finish has some hints of bitterness. Not a world-beater but decent enough.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford Pours a very dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Nose unremarkable, but just a little roast malts. In the mouth the immediate sensation is the4 creamy texture. Taste of chocolate and milky coffee comes later. Let down by the finish which is a bit like dishwater. Not their best.

Cask at Standing Order, Derby Pours a very dark reddish brown with a small beige head and good lacing. Exudes a slight aroma of chocolate, but in the mouth the dominant taste is dark fruits, together with liquorice, and rye bread. Has a slightly smoky texture, with the finish being smoky and fruity. Rather nice.
