Cask at the British Lion, Folkestone. Gold with a thin, dense, off-white head; sour fruit and apple flavours and a peppery bitterness to finish. Not very exciting.

Cask, Flower Pot, Derby. Dig the Zappa pump clip....Still can’t believe that man wasn’t a Pot head. Ha. This was a bronze colour with a very thin off white head. Aroma and flavour was caramel malt, melon and a hint of spice. Gently lingering dry bitter finish. Alright.

Cask @ Market Porter with Mesandsim and Magic Dave6.Light golden color with a thin white head that quickly dissappears. Very light but with full hoppy and flowery flavor and aromas. Nice bitter finish and rather refreshing. Nothing over the top but still very enjoyable !

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol, 29/11/08. This was tried after the Pictish Samhain stout and probably suffered as a result. Black with a slight tan head. Roasty and chocolate aroma. Flavour was much the same, with some dark fruit and a decent dry finish. Ok.

Cask, Ship and Mitre, Liverpool. Bronze colour with nearly no head. Some vague citric hop bitterness going down but not a huge amount else. Definitely drinkable though.
