Cask@The Railway, Streatham, London (24/05/2022) - golden pour with a white head. Medium sweet light citrus fruity with sweet toasted bready malts, cereal, straw, hay, twiggy hoppy into the close. Soso. Probably one of many jubilee beers out there right now.

Keg at the Metropolitan Bar, Baker Street, 20/05/22. Clear golden, carbonation evident, topped with a good sized lasting off white head. Nose is pale malts, grass, cereals, toasted grains. Taste comprises pale malts, breads dough, light citric zest, grains, herb. Medium bodied, lighy spritzy carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough logger bier.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A bright amber pour with a thin white head; grainy aroma; grainy body with caramel and a strong vegetal bitterness; then a finish that seems to blend barley sugar with boiled cabbage, leaving a spicy aftertaste. Strange.
