Earl Of Essex. Cask. Almost clear gold beer with a bubbly white head. Smooth palate, semi dry. Modest carbonation. Mild floral bitterness. Touches of soap and apples. Mildly bitter orange peel before a light dry finish. Soapy bitter aftertaste. A bit rubbish really.

Old Fountain. Cask. Light haze on this pale gold beer, residual bubbly white head. Smooth and slightly dry palate. Mild fine carbonation. Thin dry malt. Mildly bitter floral notes. Mellow citrus. Finishes mildly astringent. Not bad.

Cask at the Hare and Billet, Blackheath. Amber pour with a white head. Toffee, citrus and light spice aroma. Malt laden flavour with some clove and ginger notes. Spicy-bitter finish.

Drafthouse Tower Bridge. Cask. Light haze on this golden beer. Little white head. Palate is smooth and slighty soft. Immediate juniper spice. Light dry malt. Touch of marmalade hops. The hops integrate well with the spice here. There is no cinnamon or chilli or anything of that ilk, it’s all floral spice. Finishes semi dry with the floral spice going in to the aftertaste. Interesting and tasty.

Cask at the Florence. It pours cloudy gold with a small white head. The nose is wheat, earth, hay, soft orange, light toast and spice. The taste is smooth, wheat, light bitterness, floral, touch of spice and tangerine with a dry finish. Light-medium body and s oft carbonation. Nothing wrong with it, just fairly uneventful... So-so.

Cask gravity dispense. It pours clear amber with a a minimal white head. The nose is juicy marmalade, floral, peppery juniper and bread. The taste is soapy, potpourri, light astringency, pepper, caramel and a touch of bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and low carbonation. Taste doesn’t live up to the aroma. Interesting, but not terribly drinkable.

Cask at Wandsworth London Beer Festival on 6 July 2013. Poured a very cloudy amber with almost no head. Slightly herby aroma with the spice and sweetness of the juniper. Bready malts initially with some bitterness and a definite gin note on the palate.

Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Common London Beer Festival July 2013 - Le Gothique. Pours clearish gold with a bubbly, frothy white head. Nose of hay, plastic grass and lemon. Medium sweet flavor with jammy citrus, sugary white bread and bitter straw. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with more jammy citrus, marmalade, some doughy white bread. Meh.
