Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 1st July 2014. Dark copper with off-white head and initial lacing. Pungent malty aroma. Dry maltiness and leafy grassiness in-mouth. Sweet malts and berry fruits in finish. Light refreshing mouthfeel and medium body.

Batch #1, bottle #2. It pours clear golden with minimal head. The nose is doughy, grain, muffin, light toast and weak lemon. The taste is crisp, bready, hay, toasty grains, grass, drying mouth-feel, earth and dull astringency with a dry finish. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. A bit dull if truth be told. Not a whole lot going on.....meh.

Bottle (batch 1, bottle #13) from Good Taste, Crystal Palace. It pours hazy orange-amber with a medium off-white head. Some floaters on the go also. The nose is earthy, spicy, grass, wood, stewed orange and brown sugar. The taste is bitter, earthy, resin, spice, dull smoke, wood, leather, brown bread and toasty grass with a dry, spicy finish. Decent enough for an English-hopped IPA type job.

Cask at the Harp. It pours lightly hazy amber with a medium off-white head. The nose is earthy, toast, brown bread, berry and kinda cheesy hop. The taste is smooth, toasty, brown bread, earth, light peppery notes, leather and wood with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Old leather sofa on the finish. Pretty old-school for my taste. So-so.

Gravity cask at London Drinker 2014. Pours clear gold with a frothy white head. Pretty basic aroma of hay and pale bread. Light sweet flavor with odd smoky mineral notes, grassy bitterness, more hay, dry pale malts. Light in body with fine carbonation; OK condition. Further out-of-place smoke and minerals to finish with a bit of lemon rind and dry pale bread. So so.

Draft at Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2013 - London. Pours clear gold with a creamy white head. Doughy pale malts in the nose with hints of butter. Light-medium sweet flavor with faint orange meringue, white bread and pine needles. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderate ripe citrus to finish with dry, pale bread. OK.
