Pint the The Last Post JDW in Paisley. Light golden colour with some head. Quite nice.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Two hand-pulled pints in ’The Barley’, a modern refurbished pub in Newport, Shropshire on 27 Apr 2013.
Light golden body with an off-white head which started off thin and got thinner by the second.
No huge aroma: a blend of biscuity malts and floral hops almost cancelled each other out.
The taste was fairly bland I’m afraid: some malt semi-sweetness and a hop content that tried to add some bitterness, but overall it didn’t do it for me, even though I had two pints, just to make sure. Mildly citrus towards the end of each sip, but nothing strong or robust about the beer at all.
Mid-bodied and OK as a session beer I suppose, just lacked the umph I’d have liked.

1/2 pint from cask @ Albion. Pours clear golden with a low creamy head. Aroma is malts. Flavor is malts with some hops. Very simple. Decent.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask. Not so good aroma, maybe cask was open for too long. Golden colour with long-lasting head. Not very intensive bitternes in taste with well balanced biscuit sweetness.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Golden with no head. Has an ordinary malty aroma but also tasty biscuit notes within its flavour.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask @ Clockwork Beer Co. Rich golden amber colour, good foamy head. Mild cereal resin malt aroma. Corn resin grain flavour. Citrus aftertaste. Average golden ale.
2.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
This beer had a nasy aroma of stale farts, I’m unsure what causes this as I’ve had it with a few beers, maybe it’s a type of hop or malt which causes it. The rest of beer was fine, taste was medium bitter

[cask at the Caledonian Brewery, Edinburgh] Pour is clear as a bell, large fluffy white head. Looks very inviting. Aroma is faintly sweet and musty, like hay in a loft after a long summer. The taste, surprisingly, is similar. Backed up by that trademark caramelised sweetspot flavour I just don’t get on with, the whole thing finishes just too sweet for my taste [31012013]
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pint at the Allied Arms in Reading. Amber golden, a light cloudy, good bubbly head. Light, dry, biscuit, hint of currant. Tastes fairly good. Aroma very faint.
