Keg at the Earl of Essex - London. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a moderate, creamy white head. The aroma has bready malts and ripening orane. Medium sweet flavor with further bready pale malt character, a bit kf pine, minerals, tangerine rind, faint orange creme. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Light hop resins on the finish, a touch of alcohol boot, bready and lightly toasted pale malts, minerals, faint grass, orange, general citrus rind bitterness. Nothing special.

Tap at Friends of Ham, Leeds. Hazy, dark golden. Thick, lasting, white head. Good looker. Jammy sweet. Grapefruit. Light, fusty, bubblegum. Sweet malt. Buttery toast. The works, really. Taste is more down to earth, dry and fruity, with a lightly chewy, bitter finish. Tasty.

Earl of Essex. Cask. Clear red - amber beer. Few pale tan bubbles failing to form a head. Palate is smooth and dry with modest carbonation. Ephemeral dark malts with a whisper of coffee. Light tangy fruits, including apple. Light.dry finish with a mild coffee linger. Bit of a dull affair but doesn’t offend.

Bottle from Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Clear, reddy amber. No head to speak of. Fruity sweet. Hint of toffee. Hint of citrus. Taste is dry. Soft carbonation. Some zest on the palate. Sweetness at the end.

Bright clear red - amber beer with a few pale cream coloured bubbles for a head. Palate is light and dry and mildly crisp. Minerals. Starts with a dry floral bitterness with whisper of orange and spices. Papery dry malt and then a dry finish with mixed spice bitter linger. Bit of an odd duck, first mouthful was okay, then it got a bot chewy, and then came full circle to okay again. Passable, just.
