Cask at the Magpie & Crown, Brentford on 31st January 2015. Slightly hazy copper with diminishing off-white foam and scant lacing. Sweet biscuit malts and orchard fruits aroma. Fruity in-mouth with berries, apples and sour citrus. A herby touch. Sweet and fruity end but with sour, cidery overtones. Zingy mouthfeel and medium body.

Cask at the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Light brown, bordering on tawny. A bit of white head from the natural carbonation. Nutty nose, with some berries and slight vinegar. Taste is an improvement: sweet tinged with bitter, with cereal, berry and crystal malt overtones. Balanced finish. Mouthfeel fuller than would be expected. I used to drink a lot from this brewery when I lived in Exeter. Nice to see they’re still putting out good beer.

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. Reddish copper in colour with a thin cream head; caramel aroma with a touch of smoke; rather thin and watery with a sweet, fruity caramel taste; and a dry, burnt sugar finish. A reasonable mild.
