Keg @ The Cider Barn, Cheddar. Pours clear gold with, unusually, a white head atop. Sparkling. Nice enough medium dry, moderately sweet, gentle dry finish, made by Weston's and tastes like it is too.

Cask at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a sizeable white head and good lacing. The aroma has citrus, oranges and hints of pine. In the mouth it starts off sweet and malty but floral hops quickly make themselves known, alongside peaches and oranges. Later still there are herbs and pine resin pus traces of spices and crackers. Took a while for me to get used to it (served too cold), but this is quite nice and pleasantly tasty. UPDATE : went back the next day with a friend, and she had this beer - which poured clear ! Looks like a rerate is required...

1/2 pint @ Malt, Matsby market avec Maria, Vincent et Isa, juste avant de commencer notre balade au Beer Mile.
Brune foncée, col léger beige.
Arôme sur un bouquet malté présentant un léger grillé/chocolaté, pointe de lactose en rétro-nasal, le tout est assez délicat. Pointe d'amertume du houblon perce en rétro-nasal et se prête bien aux malts.
Palais sur un léger malté anglais grillé/torréfié, eptite note de lactose qui se prête bien aux notes plus chocolatés. Petite note noisette, fudge, poudre de cacao avec une légère amertume noble en fin de bouche. Le côté lactose est délicat, pas surfait et donne une certaine onctuosité en bouche.
