A Mes rate: Cask at the Marble Arch.
Really not sure how I missed this one at Merton but nae bother, I caught up with it at the Marble. pale gold with a thin white head. Bland malty aroma with some very faint honey. Creamy malt flavour with the honey coming more to the front. Lingering bitter finish. Dull.

Cask, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 Poured clear golden with a nice bubbly white head. Some honey on nose but it is more apparent in the mouth which unfortunately adds to the sweetness. Lacks that hoppy crispness that is found in a lot of other Castle Rock pale beers and for once Castle Rock are decidely average with a golden beer, its ok but nowt special.

Cask conditioned at Merton Summer B.F ’08. Hazed gold with white head. Burnt sugar, honeycomb type flavours, richly sweetish and quite full but just not to my taste unfortunately.

Cask at the Derby Beer Festival. This pale beer does smell pleasingly of honey, and there is a slight sweetness to the taste. However, I found the flavour to be grainy and the aftertaste to be unpleasant.
