Gold colour. Faint hoppy aroma. Clean palate, with hints of fruit and spicy hop notes. Crisp finish, but a little soft, even flabby. In other words, a fairly unexceptional, but very quaffable golden summer ale. Cask (handpump), Lord Moon of the Mall (JDW), Whitehall, London SW1.

Cask (The Met, London)
Another good beer ruined by JD Wetherspoons. Evidently there’s a good bitter in here trying to get out, but what hit my tastebuds was well past its best. Must re-rate one which JDW haven’t got their hands on.

Light and fruity ale with a dry finish that finished bitter but then has a breif sweet note!
