Cask at Prince of Wales, Farnborough. 09/09/16. Zero aroma. Medium gold, slightly hazy. Minimal head. Medium bitter - more obvious in the finish. Light, soft, with a dry finish. For me typical of the style - inoffensive but quaffable.

Cask at the Tilly Shilling (JDW), Farnborough. Pale amber with a ring of white head; floral aroma; full bodied with a sweet citrusy fruit taste; with a clean refreshing grapefruit finish. A straightforward golden bitter.

Cask at the Claret. It pours clear deep brown with a medium off-white head. The aroma is rich, sweet toffee, light cocoa, wood, leather and brown bread. The taste is smooth, rich, bitter - sweet, toffee, dark fruits, wood, light spice, chewy malt and brown bread with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Great condition. Rich and pretty flavoursome. Good bitter.

Cask gravity at Siba South East 2015. Black beer no head thick liquorice port sweet sherry like Pedro jiminez oddly drinkable it’s pretty damn good. Strong and the burn comes as heat on the finish but it’s balance. Fun. Good chocolate caramel fun if unsubtle

Cask gravity at Siba South East 2015. Clear gold no head. It?s a tropical fruity pale ale which is rather good. Starts a little dusty on the aroma but then the mango kicks in. In the mouth more mango ok condition some bitterness and dryness on the finish. An easy drinking tropical fruity golden ale. Decent.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. A pale straw pint with a thin white head; a rich malty aroma that’s rather unexpected on a beer that’s as pale as this one; well-balanced taste with lots of biscuity malt, but also a bitter fruitiness from the Mosaic hops, giving a crisp finish. A refined and very pleasant Golden Ale - perfect for the first evening of the year when it’s been possible to sit in the beer garden at the Rose & Crown.
