Cask - The Bell Hotel (JDW), Norwich. Scmall, creamy-bubbly white head, lasting with some lace and a golden orange body. Biscuity malts & a presiding metallic overtone in the aroma until it warmed at which point citrus notes came through, slightly redeeming it overall. Some metal on the tongue too with an earthy, yeastiness and some backing citrus. Finishes bittwesweet with a short length. Softish body and light to medium carbonation.

Cask, Francis newton. Golden, creamy head. Slightly spicy aroma. Balanced with a peppery bitterness on the finish.

Cask, The Last Plantagenet (JDW), Leicester. Bright gold with a Gillette collar and lace frills. Sourish, mineral aroma leaning towards egg. Flavour has notes of pastry, nutmeg and drain with a hint of peel and a clean vanilla linger. OK.

Cask (handpump) @ The Lord Moon Of The Mall, Whitehall, Greater London, England SW1A 2DY .
Clear medium orange color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, caramel, fruity. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20081229]

Cask at Banker’s Draft (JDW), Bedford. Bright coppery gold with a white head. Sweet malt aroma reminiscent of orange marmalade. Rather a restrained malty taste and a sharp lingering bitter finish. I rather liked it, even though it’s over two weeks after Christmas.

Nice amber pint, taste is pleasant and balanced hops, with a little spice and straw, nice medium bitter finish. Good.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] Gold with a thin cream head; citrus and pepper aromas; light lemon flavour with warming spices - pepper, cinnamon and ginger; grassy bitter finish. Decent but not outstanding.

Handpulled cask at JDW St. Albans. Amber with white head. Typical of Burton Bridge beers but with a rather odd corky taste. Or was it some form of xmassy spice? Not too good IMO.

Cask conditioned - handpump - JDW Northampton A golden beer with a loose white head. The aroma is pretty basic with little character, but it’s better in the mouth with hints of Christmas spices. The base beer seems decent with the spice adding taste.

Cask condition handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. I liked the slightly spicey orange citrus hop on this, especially on the finish. This sat atop a slightly creamy/caramelly malt body. Overall extremely drinkable.
