Cask at the William Robert Loosley (JDW), High Wycombe. Pale yellow with a negligible head and a slight fizz. A bit thin. Caramelly vanilla-y diacetyl doesn’t go with the too-bitter piney hops. Grass and a little citrus come through eventually but I can’t actually say I enjoyed this. Disappointing stuff from a brewer that I normally regard as decent.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Straw in colour with a loose white head; fresh grassy aroma; herbal bitterness with a touch of spice; and a dry biscuity finish. Crisp and clean, but this didn’t really do anything for me.
