Cask at Wetherspoons in Rickmansworth, Herts. A deep copper coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Sweet, fruity aroma. Tastes of caramel, quite fruity, sweet, vaguely nutty. Not bad.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading] Brown with a moderate cream head and a good rich mouthfeel. Treacle up front follows through into a sweet, fruit taste with lemony hints. A woodland mulch bitterness at the end tries to balance but doesn’t quite achieve it, leaving a slightly sticky aftertaste. Far more interesting that most Rebellion ales - a good effort that for me didn’t quite work out.

[Cask at the William Robert Loosley (JDW), High Wycombe] Amber, thick creamy head. Leafy hops, toffee and a hint of lemon in the foretaste break down into a rather grubby, moderately bitter finish. Another half-arsed monthly "special" from Rebellion.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Straw with a loose white head; light floral aroma; sweet and fresh tasting with a soft, persistant, hoppy bitterness; leaving a tangy grassy finish. Rather good, but not very seasonal - a touch of summer in the depths of December.

[Cask at the Bootlegger, High Wycombe] After last month’s superb monthly special (Decomposer), Rebellion return to their usual run-of-the-mill stuff this month. This one’s amber, with a slight white head, a pinch of fruitiness, a sprinkling of malt, a a dusty light bitterness in the finish, and a generous measure of boredom. Like so many Rebellion specials, it’s OK but dull. Yawn. c6

[Cask at the Sausage Tree, High Wycombe] Light amber, moderate white head. Lots of lemon and a rich maltiness. Very nice - at last, a decent Rebellion monthly special.
