At the Lansdowne Hotel, Cardiff August 2016. Deep copper in colour, with a moderate, off-white, head. A malty bitter, with some tangy fruit, hedgerow hops and caramel, leading to a decently bitter finish. Ok.

Cask @ The Grove, Huddersfield. Deeper golden coloured with a head. Has mainly a malty-sweetness with some fruit involved, but there’s an underlying bitterness here too.

Cask at Pigs Ear 2015 - London. Pours clear honey-gold with a creamy, white head. Citrus accents in the nose, with some lightly toasted grains, hay, faint butter. Light sweet flavour with decent rindy citrus hops, pale bread. Light bodied with fine carbonation; so so condition. Finishes with more citrus notes, some bitter hay, pale grains. Just OK overall.
