Cask @ JDW Montgomery's Tower. Amber pour. Has a nice alluring pineapple sweetness coursing through, a touch creamy even. Quite nice.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A cloudy amber pour with a loose white head; tropical fruit aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a dry black currant taste, some biscuity malt and hedgerow bitterness.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a slightly hazy bright copper with a small foamy white head and good lacing. There’s a vague aroma of pineapple and tropical fruits, but nothing much. In the mouth there’s an initial dry hoppiness which is quite offputting. Flavours start off with tropical fruits (mango, guava) then progress into nuts and pumpkin. Finish is very dry. Not for me !

Cask-conditioned at the Punchbowl (JDW), York 12/2/2020. Golden in colour, with a tight, white, head. A hoppy pale ale with plenty of sharo lemon fruit, citrus hops, biscuity malts and moderately dry finish. Fine.

Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2019. Cask @ Cuthbert Brodrick, Leeds. Black with an off-white creamy head. Raspberry dominates what would be a stated roasted malts brew without it. These are evident but subdued and very sweet.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton Pours the classic “bitter brown” colour, with a good cream head. The aroma is mainly malts, but with some nuttiness. In the mouth toffee predominates, mixed with dark fruits to give an overall sweetness. Finish is creamy, with some hops appearing at last. A straightforward brown ale – but a quality one that is a pleasure to drink.
