[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A reddish chestnut coloured pour with a tight beige head; silky smooth with a grainy taste; and a dry finish with a fresh hoppy bitterness. An unexceptional dark bitter.

Cask at the Playhouse Spoons, Colchester. Near clear gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Nose is foam bananas! Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Flavour follows the nose with big foam bananas and some very mildly tart ripe citrus. A light and semi dry finish delivers more banana, getting a little estery. Bonkers! Novel, wouldn't want a pint.

Handpull cask at the William Stead (JDW), Darlington. Mid- to dark gold, hazy with a small off-white head and lots of lacing. Light aroma, some stone fruit and orange peel, gentle bready notes, possibly slightly sulphurous. Bright fruity taste, bags of apricot, with a sweet taste that becomes more bitter in the finish. Maybe a little astringent in the aftertaste. Not much in the body, soft carbonation. Pretty good overall.
