Cask at JDW Holloway. Amber coloured with white lager like head. Aroma is yeasty and wheaty. Taste quite grainy, bit of malt and a bit of socks. Slight bitter finish. Unspectacular.

Can, 4.3%. Clear amber, lasting thick offwhite head. Malty aroma, some hoppy notes. Malty, bitter flavour, metallic notes. Feels a little light despite the slighlty metallic, rough bitterness.

Cask @ JDW Montgomery's Tower. Pours clear gold, aroma is pale malt, woody. Taste is exceptionally light, exceptionally bland with vague cask beer flavours that struggle to define themselves. Hard to form an opinion of something so nondescript.

Cask at The Shakespeare: pours muddy light brown with a loose cask head. Aroma is light caramel and toffee. Taste is actually a bit of earthy bitterness. Also, there is a sorf of butterscotch finish. Somewhat sweet. ok.
