Cask @ Pie & Ale, Manchester. Blonde session brew with a creamy head. Crisp, watery-hoppy but not thin, although a tad bland too.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a golden yellow with no head whatsoever. The aroma is slightly sweet with some hints of malts. In the mouth it’s hops (a mix of traditional and floral) that catch the attention first – though they are by no means overwhelming. Following behind are berry fruits, and hints of pine, mango and butterscotch. Finish is dry and slightly sticky. It’s OK – just about

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a veru dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. There’s chocolate and roast malts in the aroma, and these continue to be the main flavours in the mouth, along with liquorice and cola. It’s quite nice – not much else to say about it.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a bright golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. There’s biscuits and floral hops mixed into the aroma. In the mouth it is slightly bitter and watery with floral hops and malts plus traces of citrus, pine and mango. Finish is dry and quite bitter. It’s okay – probably wouldn’t choose it again though.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Lets get one thing straight for a start – this is NOT a hazy beer ! Pours a clear golden yellow with a small white heat and some lacing. Honey is prominent in the aroma, along with malts and biscuits. Honey again to the fore in the mouth, plus treacle, floral hops and grains. Bitterness increases after a while, and grass and herbs come through as well. Finish is slightly dry. This is reasonable – better than I expected.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a dark mahogany with minimal off-white head and good lacing. The nose has roasted malts and milky coffee. Whilst in the mouth coffee predominates. There’s also roast malts, vanilla and cola. After a while some bitterness appears also. Coffee again in the dry finish. This is a decent beer, but a coffee porter isn’t really appropriate for a boiling hot day !

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. There’s summer fruits in the aroma here, plus some hints of citrus. In the mouth it is sweet and fruity with oranges, lemongrass and some underlying caramel. Finish is sweet and slightly dry. Golden ales are are much too ubiquitous in my view, but this is a decent example.
