Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Pours clear, reddish-brown with a fine, white head. Good and hoppy aroma, some orange citrus, caramel, honey, bread. Medium sweet flavor, good bread, light toast, some earthy and lightly herbal bitterness, and a bit juicy overall. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Some bread, caramel and juicy citrus to finish. Very nice beer overall.

Had high hopes that this โStrong Pale Aleโ would be good and hoppy. Itโs not but it is a balanced clear amber beer with an overdry palate. Otherwise unremarkable.

Cask at the Pommelers Rest, JDW. Mostly clear, amber-gold pour with an off-white head. Foamy. Bread, some lightly toasted, burned edges, soft caramel aroma. Odd flavor, with heavy, heavy metals, such that I am about drinking this. Also some light plastic, faint earth, bread. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Metal metal metal to finish, with mild malts. What the hell? Metal subsides a bit as the beer warms but just barely. Something must be off here. At least, I hope so.

On tap at the Goodmans Fields spoons. 5.0% version. Bright clear amber brown beer with a creamy off white head - itโs an attractive pint! Smooth semi dry palate. Fresh smooth malt, a little creamy. Sweetish beer, well intergrated smooth and semi dry orange. Dry malty finish. Just a very pleasant well joined up sweetish Crimbo ale that I could have happily drunk all afternoon as could everyone I was with.

Bottle, 4.2%. Flowery aroma, perhaps a bit of elderflower. Cloudy yellow colour. Small frothy white head. The flavour is nicely flowery and faintly sweet. Subtle, but good and still flavourful. Good clean bitterness.
