Cask (handpump) @ The Cross Keys, 31 Endell Street, Covent Garden, London, Greater London England WC2H 9BA.
Clear medium yellow orange color with a small, fizzy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, caramel, chlor, moderate hoppy, pine, citrus, grapefruit. Flavor is moderate sweet and moderate acrid shell bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20090803]

From cask at the brewpub. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild citrusy and hoppy. Bitter, malty and light cornish flavoured. Bitter and rather dry. Light butterish, not in good condition. Bitter and bland finish. Re-rate needed.

Cask@The Cross Keys. Yellow colour, small white head. Aroma is honey, fruits, nectar and also rather sweet maltyness. Flavour is flowery and grassy hops along iwth some nectar and honey. Semi-dry palate.

Cask handpull at William IV. Copper colour no head. Decent floral hoppy beer, perfumed. Good perfumed beer. Bit of fart yeast. OK.

Dark golden with a small white head. Grassy aroma with tea-like notes, and fruity esters. Dry and grassy flavour with a floral touch. Medium bitterness.

A Mes rate: cask at the Old Coffee House in Soho.
Semi hazy gold with a thin white head. Sweet and fruity with some faint dusty hoppage. A combination of creamy fruit and dusky bitterness. Sounds regular but there is something just that little bit different about it. Impressive length. Not bad at all.

Cask (handpump) at the Cross Keys, Covent Garden, May 2009. Pale gold colour with slight haze. Aggressively sparkled for a thick, creamy head. Slightly resinous hop aroma. Moderate hop presence in the flavour, with a fairly assertive lingering bitterness. Clean and easy drinking but a rather thin mouthfeel leaves this feeling a bit underpowered. Nonetheless it’s a perfectly pleasant and serviceable session bitter.

Cask (William IV, Leyton, Brodies Christmas Cracker 2009)
Some sulphur, some sticky sweet fruity melon and peach. Perhaps under-attenuated - there’s some wortiness remaining. Hops are bitter and a touch pungent. Palate a bit milky in places. If attenuated just a little more, this has great potential.

At the brewpub in Leyton. Clear gold beer. Little suddy white head. Light palate, semi dry. A little even malt with a whisper of citrus hop that is pretty tame. Dry finish, mildly bitter aftertaste. Okay.

Cask, half pint served comfortably temperate at The Cross Keys in Covent Garden. Shinning surface with an almost clear, copper coloured body. Dry fruity hops to the nose. Bitter citrus fruits in flavour supported by earthy malts. Bitter sharpness to the finish. Very dry textured (London, 02.08.2009).
