Cask handpull at County Hotel, Ashford. Deep chestnut. Ginger from the start. No great condition either. I tend to like ginger beers, but this one is awful. Almost undrinkable. Ginger lemon shandy. Taste of stale dust. Pretty poor.

Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes. Dark coppery brown. A nasty whiff of ginger in the aroma. Taste is also unpleasantly gingery with a background of Band Aid and proprietory medicines. Foul.

[cask at JDW] The aroma is sweet and malty, caramel, some fruit and a hint of ginger. medium body, finish is dry and leaves a bit of ginger on the tongue.

Aroma is powdered ginger and hopy. Taste is reasonably balanced though shifting to the hopy side, maybe due to a little of the ginger still playing around.
