Cask at the Pembury Tavern - Havkney. Pours totally clear gold with a frothy, white head. The nose holds lightly ripened citrus fruits, orange rind, mellow pine, pale bread. Light-medium sweet flavour with modest oily pine, some chewy citrus, supportive pae bready malts, low bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Pretty well balanced on the finish, with more bready pale malts, some alcohol warmth, subtle pine resin, undertones of melon, mango. The hops are there, but it’s all a bit understated. Still, it drinks well.

Gravity cask at the 2017 Cambridge Winter Ales Festival. Light gold, clear with some head-impersonating bubbles on top. Aroma is heavy with dried banana and cantaloupe, with some light citrus and nutty notes. It’s sweet for the style, but tempered by the bitterness of the generous Mosaic. While it works for this particular beer, the flat oily body may not be to everyone’s taste. This is an unusual and refreshing beer. I really took to it. Goodnight Irene, I’ll see you in my dreams...

Cask at the Pembury Tavern - London. Pours clear copper-gold with a creamy topping. The nose holds toasted biscuits, some toasted grains, some leafy hops. Light sweet flavour with a little ripening oranges, more lightly toasted grains, leafy hops, impressions of toffee. Nicely balanced in the finish, more toasty notes, light leafy bitterness. Good stuff. Solid cask bitter.

Cask @ Ship and Mitre, Liverpool [040916]
Golden, clear, bubbly white head
Aroma of fruits malts, apricot, bitter grape
Taste of light sweet malt, bitter frain, bitter herbal, paracetamol, really not drinkable at all
Palate - Light body, very very bitter. Finish is very dry, very bitter malt grain, metallic paracetamol
Overall - Should have been better even though it was the ’end of the barrel’
