Cask handpull at The County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Gold colour with thick lasting cream off white head. Sulphur and yeast on aroma, some citrus hop. OK condition. It’s alright, but not much to it, some yeast character and faint hop on finish.

Cask, Doctor Duncans, Liverpool. Dark copper colour with a thin off white head. Slight rum aroma with caramel malt and brown sugar notes. Similar gig in the flavour, with the rum lurking pretty unobtrusively in the background. In pretty good nick, and as a rum lover I quite enjoyed this.

Cask at the Eldon Arms, Reading. Magnificent looking - a beautiful deep mahogany colour with a rose-gold hue against the light, and a thin cream head; the aroma is earthy and smoky on top of slightly lactic chocolate malts; the roasted malts dominate the flavour, dry and with a light coffee taste; then there’s a dry and gently bitter finish. A first rate mild.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 11/11/09. Golde with a tight white head. Pear drop & yeast Wadworth’s aroma. Flavour of wood, sweet malts and citrus, with an odd dry, herbal finish. Not for me.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of citrus, malt, elderflowers, and hops. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of straw and elderflowers. Thanks yespr for sharing.
