Cask at the Euston Tap. Pours clear, rich gold with a cloud-like, creamy white head. Nose of butter, bread, straw and crackers. Lovely flavor, brilliantly balanced. Sweet cracker malts and light honey lend sweetness, then straw, light grass and lemon zest bitter things up a bit. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes nice and dry with further notes of crackery, leaf and straw hops and hints of citrus. This is just an incredibly drinkable and tasty beer. Well done, Ossett.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Dark, honey-brown pour with a medium, creamy head. Malt and cookie dough in the nose, with some toffee. Malty, nutty flavor, lightly sweet, with some bran flakes in there. Light to medium in body with smooth carbonation. Some decent bitterness in the finish, sort of herbal and grassy, with further notes of tiasted malts. Doesn’t blow me away but is still pretty OK.

(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 24 Nov 2010) Dark reddish brown colour with brief, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit, apricots, caramel and dusty hops. Malty taste with notes of dried fruit, toasty malt and generous amounts of earthy hops in the finish. Medium body, with a lingering malty sweetness. Quite nice winter warmer.

Cask handpull at Market Porter. Reddish brown clear with lasting beige head. Nicely bitter on the finish. Touch of dry ashy malt. It’s ok. Just a touch harsh. Some fruit. It grew on me and outside the hoppy blond Ossett normal terriotory.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Pours semi-clear yellow with a strong, foamy white head. Mostly hoppy aroma of straw and light cereal. Fairly sweet with some easy bread and straw, hay bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Dry, earth and straw hop finish, with some modest malty sweetness. Nothing wrong here.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Pours clear amber with a soft, white head. Aroma holds some toasted malts, light berry fruits and some twiggy, earthy hops. Moderately sweet, with faint hints of caramel and toffee, some lightly toasted malts, followed by earth and grass bitters. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly dry, earthen hop finish with off-setting, malty sweetness. Nicely balanced all around. Solid.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Pours yellow-gold with a moderate, white head. Hay and straw bitterness with hints of citrus in the aroma. Good, balanced flavor with light orange and lemon citrus and some modest, toasted bread. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. Dries out in the finish with more hay and mild, malty sweetness. Very good.
