Cask at the moon under water Watford Jdw. A mostly clear straw, orange coloured pour with a speckled white head. Aroma is sour milk, vanilla, diacetyl, boke. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, vanilla cream, diacetyl, creany,. Meh. Palate is semi sweet, creany, flabby, low cask condition. Bit of a mess.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a thin white head; some citrus aroma; rather thin and soapy in the mouth, the grapefruit taste is there, but very subtle. I was hoping for far more from this.

Somewhat bland, dried pale malts, bread crust, straw, crunchy grains, an accent of zesty citrus. Grassy, earthy bitter finish. OK condition.

Cask at Wheatsheaf, Stoke-on-Trent. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. A somewhat muted aroma has traces of citrus, nuts and bran. In the mouth it is sweet with flavour dominated by grapefruit and floral hops. Also some kiwi and tropical fruit, with some sharpness and spicy hints becoming evident later. This is reasonable – better than I expected.
