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.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a golden orange with a small white head. There’s oranges and summer fruits in the nose. @In the mouth it is sweet at first with honey and tangerines. Floral hops come through later plus some lemon, cookie biscuit and hints of pepper. Finish is bitter sweet and slightly dry. A bit unusual for an IPA, but rather nice. Hides its strength very well.

Cask @ Pie & Ale, Manchester. Pale gold with a head. Its ginger is heavier in its nose than taste, but not too stated in either. Unexcitingly palatable.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a murky pinkish orange with minimal white head. Aroma has vague hints of raspberries and strawberries. In the mouth strawberries briefly have the upper hand before giving way to raspberries and floral hops. Overall it’s sweet, with texture like chewy sweets, but becoming sokmewhat rough after a while. Some hints of spices later on as well. The taste is decent enough, but stylistically this is a mess ! [ I would call it a Flavoured Witbier ]

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a dark reddish-brown with minimal cream head but good lacing. There’s an aroma of milk chocolate and malts here, which continues in the mouth. Texture starts off rather thin and watery, but beefs up after a while when liquorice and humbug flavours start to appear. The liquorice wins out in the finis. It’s OK.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe – at 3.7%. Well the name’s a misnomer for a start ! It certainly isn’t “extra pale” but pours a golden amber with a small off-white head. Citrus is there in the aroma, plus traces of marmalade and malts. Pretty much the same in the mouth, where there is tangerine to the fore and a caramel base. Finish is quite fruity. Drinkable, but not memorable.
