Cask conditioned & on handpump at The Alex in Derby on 03/03/05. Mid / dark brown bitter. Great balance, nicely bitter & very drinkable. Best of the night, good session Ale I reckon.

Cask @ Market Porter. Clear deep amber with medium off white head. Sweet fruity with caramel and hops. Ends mild bitter. Soft mouthfeel.

Cask handpump @ The Hope Tap, Reading, England.
Clear medium amber orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, moderate hoppy, lemon, grass. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily and smooth, carbonation is soft to flat. (010508)

20th June 2008. Well balanced bitter. Actually not that bitter at all Orangey fruity note balanced by smooth malt.

Cask Handpump at the Rat & Ratchet, Huddersfield 27/01/2007 Fruity aroma. Golden coloured slightly rich on the palate and fruity with some dryness in a crisp malt finish.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 1 Dec 2007) Reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Fruity nose with notes of dark fruit, apricots and orange. Malty taste with dark fruit, figs, apricots, orange and hints of dusty hops in a fairly short and dry finish. Hardly exciting, but a decent bitter.

Cask. Goldeny amber colour with small white head. Aroma is fruits, some glueishlike notes, sweet nectar and mild caramel. Flavour is nectar, wood, some not/too/sweet fruityness as well as mild notes of grass. Semidry palate and bitter finish.

Cask in the counting house. Aroma is caramel malts, biscuity and grassy bittering hop. Taste is similar. Have i written this rating before?

Cask conditioned - handpump - Squirrel Inn Rugby. A copper coloured beer with a whitish head. The aroma is pretty hoppy. The taste is a bit green at first and not the best, but it develops into a pretty decent beer with some citricity from the hops. A bit of an oddball, but drinkable.

Cask conditioned at The Wooolpack, Banbury. Clouded Gold to Amber with slight head. Some strange carbonisation going on here, don’t know what that is about, thin and really quite understated. i would love to appreciate Clarks beers, but somehow they never hit the heights.
