Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Copper with white head. Slightly tart fruity but flat beer, some maltiness, a little boiled veg but with a leafy hoppy note. It’s ok.

UPDATED: JUN 4, 2012 Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel, Northampton. A dark copper coloured beer with an off-white head. The aroma is malty with notes of crackers. A crunchy crackeer like maltiness to the taste. Really easy to drink and very sessionable. Tasty stuff. Score 3.5
Subsequent rating scored 3.3. Average becomes 3.4

Sorry if I gave the impression that I couldn't support Spiesy's comments at the time, but I certainly do now (apart from the smokiness, which I didn't get). Pale amber colour. Not much in the aroma, but some fruit comes through in the flavour. Hops and a touch of malt too. A pleasant, nicely balanced session bitter, but nothing to get too excited about. Cask (gravity), Battersea Beer Festival.

UPDATED: OCT 15, 2007 I turned to garethyoung and said, " english brewers must put sulphur dioxide into thier beers, as they taste like amonia", im probably wrong but you get the idea of how to ruin a beer. REARTE: Bon Accord, good balanced citrus hops with a bit of caramalt thrown in, no sulphur to be seen at all.

Cask@The Market Porter, Southwark, London. Not too bad, some subtle aromatic hops in the aroma and flavour, some orangey caramel flavours, medium bitter finish, a bit salty.
