Cask. Took this down as 6% ABV. Pours an opaque dark brown with an orange hue and an off-white head leaving laces. Sweet/tart aroma of wood and hard roasted malt. Quite full-bodied, low carbonation, licorice, hard roasted malt and cough syrup. Rather alcoholic finish. 200110

Cask (South Western Arms, Southampton) - Pale golden in colour. Sherbet lemon aroma with hints of pineapple. The taste is dry at first, but then becomes more fruity and tangry with notes of grapefruit and lemon.

Cask, handpump at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 21-12-09 Stood in the pub whilst it was blizzarding heavily outside, so only had chance to have small amount before I realised that not moving soon may see me stuck in Aylesbury for the evening. Pours brown a touch hazy with an off-white head. There is a good level of bitterness, some dark fruits, its not as sweet or as cloying as I was expecting and even the alcohol isn’t the harsh burner that I believed it was going to be. Nice stuff wish I could have had more time, not been driving and the snow not quite so hideous. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Cask at GBBF 2009. Gold, lasting beige head. Slightly buttery golden ale. OK but just that bit of diacetyl that doesn’t belong in a golden ale.

[Cask at Seaview Hotel, Seaview, Isle of Wight] Amber, slight white head. Citrus at first, with wheat chaff hints. Quite sweet. Minerals come through in a lasting finish. Maybe a little watery, but generally OK.

Cask gravity at Battersea BF 09. Amber, disappearing off white head. Grapefruit hoppy aroma, some toffee. Actually that toffee is diacetyl. Too much diacetyl. Poor.
