Cask at The Four Candles (JDW), Oxford. Did what you'd want from a classic English pale. Good grippy bitter ending and some apple notes. Floral.

Cask at The Park Tavern, Eltham. Amber pour with a white head. Nose is banana toffee, caramel. Taste is much the same, quite a malty bittersweet vibe. Not bad.

Cask at the Duke of St Albans, Highgate on 1st September 2024. Reddish brown with yellowy white foam and full lacing. Malty aroma. Nutty maltiness throughout liquid pass and finish. An impressive build of bitterness. Full bodied with a smooth yet engaging mouthfeel.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a tight white head; light hoppy aroma; soapy in the mouth with some oranges and biscuity malts; then a well rounded bitter finish with Kentish hops and citrus peel. A tasty summer bitter.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A bright pale amber pour with a tight white head leaving lots of lacing on the glass; fresh English hop aroma; smooth bready body with a dry hoppy taste; then some sweet bready malts and fruity hedgerow hops to finish. Very tasty.
