Sep 27, 2009 Cask (gravity), LYH, Newcastle. A beer that I’ve always liked for its pepperiness. A fine reddy appearance, well balanced, fresh and clean tasting. If you want a good session bitter for the night, this is ideal.

Aug 3, 2009 Cask@The Edgar Wallace, London.
Dark copper color, small off-white head. Rusty, earthy aroma - not very good. Herbal-grassy flavor. Ok, a bit boring, but probably good to have with food.

Jul 5, 2009 A Mes rate. Cask handpull at some random pub while we were on our way to see David Byrne.
Good amber gold looks with a creamy off white head. Good hoppage. Nice and sharp. Standard bitter elsewhere.

Jul 3, 2009 Cask at King William IV, Histon, Cambs. Red-brown colour, quite a sweet scent, berries and a malty end to the nose. Quite thin. Bitter and very dry. Starts tasting quite watery but then lots of malts, a fruity hops on the end. Boring.

Apr 19, 2009 Cask, Dykes End, Reach, Cambridgeshire. Haloed russet wafting surprisingly with grassy herbal hop. Clean lingering bread and biscuity malts drying with assertive stinging dryness. Lovely softening choc, Nutella and bready notes. Notes mention Uerige; unexpectedly fine bittering hop and bready malt/yeast balance. Dabs of berry fruit, maybe cherry, bags of discreetly herbal English hop. Think I’ve been judging Adnams on their pasteurised bottled efforts, which is harsh. Eye-opener.
