Cask (Head of Steam, London)
Rather dull blond ale. Hoppy, but thin, even unbalanced.

an amber coloured ale, with a sweet fruit maly nose, and a bitter fruity malt flavour.

Cask Handpump at the Mill Hotel, Chester 28/06/2001 Mid brown coloured with some bitterness and pale malt. Dry hoppy finish.

Cask at Head of Steam, Euston Light brown colour, good mix of hops and malt, I normally like everything from this brewery and this was no exception. Definitely a brewer to look out for.

Cute wooden pump clip. Copper colour. Sweet, bready, undeveloped malt nose. The palate is also malty, but dryer with a touch of bitterness developing later on. However, the sweetness returns and lingers on the finish. All seems a bit unbalanced. Not bad, but not really my favoured style of bitter - I prefer something crisper with more bitter grip. I wouldn’t have recognised this beer from the brewer’s description. Cask (handpump), Head of Steam, Euston, London NW1 (with Spiesy).

UPDATED: AUG 17, 2005 [Cask conditioned at The Head Of Steam] Golden coloured. Sweet and fruity. It tastes like very mature pears. Very strange and rather unbalanced, but still tasty.

Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London.
Golden honey colour, slightly hazey, with just a fine white head. Jammy, honied aroma, discernable from some distance. Butterscotch flavour (pointed out by Steve) Good biiter-sweet finish. Interesting and original drop this.

Cask Conditioned at The White Lion, Fewcott. Golden Amber in colour with a chunky white head. A deeper sweet malt base than expected which is followed by a tangy flowery hoppy bitter flavour. A pleasant session bitter, though the sweetness does linger.
