Cask@Pullman, Helsinki
Clear amber color, small off-white head. Diacetylic, sticky nose. Light-body. Less diacetyl in the flavor, some in the aftertaste. Toffee, wort, hoppy notes. Light hoppy notes in the finish. This one was pretty lame.
2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
This one pours a remarkably murky, very light brown. The aroma is quite toasty and a little bit biscuity. Light body, a bit acidic, and has a hollow chocolate malt character. This beer is a real miss.

@ The Lamb, Frome. Poured with a ton of sediment but the red-orange hue is nice. Too bad about the murkiness, it’s quite off-putting. Aroma is clear but shy. Bready malts and some fruit juice. Flavors start similarly with fruitness before taking a welcome turn towards a bread crust finish. Quite nice overall.

Cask (Kitty’s, Helsinki)
Rich nutty grainy and even dry barky hoppy aroma. Big for a 3.6% beer. Some spices and even ginger, Soft carbonation. Deep amber, small loose head. Unsurprisingly watery palate. Some fruity restronasal esters. Taste is a bit dishwatery. Finiah pleasantly bitter and a little barky and herby. Simple, but OK.

Good Intent, Rochester. Dry orange fruit - kind of musty leather. Starts fine, but grows unpleasant.
