Bottle from Lifecraft, Cowes, drunk at home. Mid-gold, clear and fairly flat. Slightly buttery, with notes of hay in the aroma. Bittersweet taste with a vegetal and spicy flavour. Bitter and slightly astringent in the finish. Hot buttered TCP in the aftertaste. Hard to believe that beers like these are still being made in 2019. Not terrible but not interesting.

Third, cask ale, beer flight at Bargeman's Rest. Shared with Finn. Patchy off-white head, deep copper coloured body, spotty lacing. Moderate aromas of grainy grass. Mixed taste profile of grass, hints of leafy hops and malty sweetness beneath. Satisfying bitter level to the finish. Quite alright. (Newport, Isle of Wight 21.10.2019).

Handpull cask at Man in the Moon (JDW), Newport, IOW. Very dark brown. Coffee aroma, dark roast malt. Bittersweet and earthy taste, with the burnt malt flavour dragging it toward the bitter. Full body. Amazing stuff.

500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - thank you very much, Graham!]. Clear, orangey, pale golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally strawy, citrusy hoppy and biscuity, pale malty aroma, hints of lemon, a touch of lemon tea, lemon biscuit. Taste is fruity hoppy and biscuity pale malty, notes of blueberry, hints of lemon, a leafy touch of lemon tea, floral overtones, additional hints of peach in the finish; minimally watery passages. Very refreshing - nice.
