A Mes rate: Cask at Baker Street ’Spoons. Clean light amber with a reasonable head. Tobacco hop aroma with a very pleasing dash of cinnamon but a dash does not a good beer make. Nutty and malty base topped with dusty hoppage. Dry nutty finish with licks of grapefruit. So so.

Golden colour with a fair amount of white head. Slightly honeyish aroma as well as citric hops. The honey in the flavour is a little more subdued than some of the other honey beers and is probably better for it. Fairly drinkable, but nothing special.

Cask at The Blue Posts, London. Pours a clear golden-orange with an average size mostly-lasting white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of light hops, honey and fruit. Mildly sweet flavour with a light bitter finish goes down smooth. Average bodied. Decent enough, nothing great but goes down easy on warm summer day.

Cask, Cellar Bar, St Andrews. Darkish golden with a thin white head. Hoppy and slightly sweet disjointed honeyness. Some slight malt and slightly strawberry, slightly citrusy fruit, balanced by hop and honey. Bit predictable really, but quaffable.
