Cask@The Market Porter, Borough, London. (The name on the pump clip was "Bad t’bone"). Slightly toasty, grainy malt characters, with some caramelly notes aswell. Nice fruit hops in the finish, with a medium bitterness, this was quite pleasant.

Not particularly exciting, but a lovely session beer with prominent yet appropriate hopping. Doesn’t seem to be dry hopped, good all rounder.

Cask at the Claret Free House. It pours clear amber, with a thin foamy white head and soft carbonation. The nose is wood, polish and sweaty sock. The taste is wood, hay, lime, lemon, orange pith, polish, astringency, caramel and brown bread, with a dry finish. A flavorsome and well balanced bitter.

Cask @ Blackfriars. Dry grassy caramel malt aroma & flavour. Light medium brown colour, not much head. Bitter aftertaste. Poor bitter. Just drinkable.

cask in cloisters ... copper ... barest lacing ... light fruit nose ... soft fruits ... light toffee ... light odd plastic linger ...

Cask, Derby Fest 10. Amber with an off-white head. Aromas are weetabix malts with lemon and pear. Toffee with lemon tea. Flavours are sweet, smooth caramel and chocolate with toffee. Malty with citrus. Not particulate dry or bitter on the finish. OK.

Cask@Derby Beer Festival 2010. Amber beer with a light head. The aroma is mildly malty and dry, and the flavour is mildly malty and bitter. Overall a very average beer.

Cask (handpump) @ The Fringe, Manchester, England M4.
Clear light to medium amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly - fully lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, dark fruits - berry. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. (290708)

Or Bad t’t Born as we say oop north... A Mes rate: Cask handpull up the Junction. A lovely hop fest in the mouth with a lovely dusty finish. Sadly let down by the nose where the citric note is just way over the top and as a result reminds me of floor cleaner... Shame as it’s a good beer.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Criterion Leicester. A copper coloured beer. The aroma is citric with notes of oranges and lemons. The taste is also fruity, hoppy and citric. Some tangerine notes in there. Quite good.
