Feb 5, 2007 Cask at The Tin Goose, London Heathrow Airport. A hazy amber pint with a white head that lasted to the end leaving heavy lacing; a sweet malty aroma; an amazing bitter marmalade taste; but the aftertaste is less exciting, thin and dry.

Jan 11, 2007 Underrated because it’s so difficult to find on form. The classic Adnams in theme pubs is slightly sour with an offputting stale yeasty smell which nevertheless drinks OK. But try it where it’s appreciated and it is transformed into a nutty, tangy bitter with a distinctive aroma of woodsmoke.. If you don’t catch the aroma of woodsmoke you’re not tasting it at its best. Try it straight out of the cask at The Queen’s Head in Newton, near Cambridge or go to the source in beautiful Southwold.

Dec 22, 2006 Kings Head, Upper St, London N1. Not quite clear in the glass, small head, good lacing. Good strong hops, little bit of spice and citrus. Very long dry hop after taste. I like this beer, its very dry and holds the flavour well.

Dec 18, 2006 Updated: Oct 15, 2007Cask at the Boat Inn, Stoke Breune, Northants. Poured an amber colour, small white head, hops and malts dominate the aroma although it wasn’t too powerful a nose. Tase was quite refreshing and bitter good hops and malts, still not as good as the Frog Island best bitter which I returned to after this. Cask at The Crown Charlton-On-Otmoor 14-10-07 Very decent session beer, not overy complex but good bitterness and pleasant enough.
