Bottle 0,5l. Golden coloured. Some sediments. A good-looking white creamy head. Hoppy aroma. Modest flavor where malt dominates. Well rounded. Dry bitter aftertaste.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Light, pale bitter. It’s got some nice floral hop on finish. Fine, some rose petal, some good syrupy citrus fruits and tangerine

Cask at GBBF 2006. A hazy orange beer with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel, and the flavor is sweet malty with light hoppy notes, leading to a dry end. Boring.

Can. Not a world class beer, but a nice break from the pale Spanish lagers. It’s a clear, deep golden beer with a dense, off-white head leaving nice lacings. Bread, caramel, roasted notes and hints of butterscotch and some metal in the aroma. The flavor has breadcrusts, caramel, notes of metal and butterscotch. Medium, creamy mouthfeel. It’s quite pleasant, but a bit too metallic. (070210)

(Cask at Market Porter, Borough, London, 23 Nov) Chestnut brown colour with a brief off-white head. Fruity nose with dried fruit and a nice aroma of earthy hops. Fruity taste with notes of dried fruit, followed by sweetish malt, nuts, caramel and ends with a dash of earthy hops. Quite complex and nice.

660 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Served with original Brakspear pint glass, nice! "Double dropped", ABV is 3.4%. Brewed with Maris Otter malts, Goldings and Fuggles hops. Copper coloured, low head. Aroma of "dusty" Goldings hops + rusty iron in stale water + hospital flesh wound dressings(!) Flavour is very tasty for a 3.4% pasteurised beer, nicely balanced between the malts and hops, nutty and toffee elements, not sweet. Moderate carbonation. A nice Fuggles finish.
