Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a slightly dark ruby with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s malts and caramel in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet but rather watery. Flavour is malts and caramel again but with hints of floral hops, toffee and spice as well. A little bitterness in the finish. This is reasonable but decidedly bland.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a dark amber with a medium sized somewhat transient foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s malts and peanuts in the aroma plus traces of fudge. In the mouth it is sweet with a creamy texture. Flavours are dark malts, hops and toffee with hints of honey. Traces of figs and dark fruit later and a little bitterness in the finish. This is decent – though I didn’t get any of the purported rum flavouring

6.9/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 7.5 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. There’s malts, grass and herbs in the aroma with just a touch of spice as well. In the mouth it starts off slightly bitter but this does gradually increase. There is also the expected Burton Union deep creamy texture. Flavours are mainly malts and home with a fair dollop of citrus and hints of oats and bergamot. Finish is somewhat dry. This is quite nice but also somewhat disappointing.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours golden brown with a small foamy off-white head and some lacing. The aroma is mainly malts and honey plus some hoppy hints. In the mouth it is sweet with a creamy almost chewy texture. Flavours are caramel, honey and sweet malts plus some traces of traditional hops. Hints of corn, citrus and biscuits later on as well leading to a somewhat fruity finish. This is surprisingly decent – though a little innocuous.

6.3/10 Appearance 7 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 6.5 Texture 7 Overall 6
Cask at Sun, Stafford. Pours golden yellow with a medium sized foamy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly peaches with some hints of biscuits. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a creamy texture. Flavour is floral hops and tinned peaches plus traces of gooseberry and elderflower. Some bitterness comes through later but the finish is still peachy. This is reasonable – but I’m not exactly keen on the craze for peach beers !
