Cask@the Bodega, Newcastle upon Tyne. Golden looks with a medium creamy white head. Promising nose packed full of fragrant hop and citrus, as was the gently sweet flavour which showed off the chinook to great effect. Very drinkable with decent body and a very tidy bitter finish. Well worth a look.

[cask at the King William IV, Leyton] Amber ale with a thin head. Nice and citrusy nose, and on the taste too. Pretty refreshing. The finish is long and dry, but not too sharp. Decent, hoppy beer [20092011]
