Hand pulled cask at the Old Fountain, Old Street, London. Pale gold with a thick unsparkled white head. Brodies amaze me. Their beers can be such a let down at their brewery tap ( anyone present at the RBESG 2011 should understand this sentiment) but this (in a pub respected for good collaring) was truly stunning! As good as Thornbridge Kipling, despite considerably lower strength. I love this magnificent session ale!

Cask at the brewpub. Hazy golden. Aroma of lychee, gooseberry and kiwi. Dryish and light bodied with plenty of passion fruit hops. Striking bitterness. Almost aggressive in it’s hoppiness.

Cask @ William IV. Slightly hazy golden body with a thin white head. Distinct fruity aroma with citric and tropic fruit in combination with white wine grapes and some yeast. Very refreshing and fruity flavor, light malt and decent bitter . Medium body. A really nice thirst-quencher but also quite tasty considering less than 4% alcohol. I had a few of this one tonight.

Cask conditioned Handpump Malt Shovel Northampton. A golden beer with off-white head and lacing. This is delicious. Beautiful Nelson Sauvin throughout. Lovely gooseberry crispness and great bitterness. Beautifully balanced malt backbone makes it so drinkable and not harsh or sharp in any way. Puckering hops. Gorgeous.

Cask at William IV. Golden, slightly cloudy with small white head. Aroma is very fruity. Grapefruit, citrus, mango and bit of bread and a little bit sour dairy. Taste has elements of tropical fruit juice and is slightly oily in the mouth. Very nice beer, must be my favourite Brodies I have ever had. Lovely.
