Cask Conditioned at The Hill House, Happisburgh, Norfolk. Pale gold to yellow with no head. Bitter beer, quite one dimensional, packed with a sharp hop flavour, a little on the pungent cabbage side. Where there should be body, there is a wateriness. Average fare.

Cask @ 2nd Saltburn Beer Festival. A clear orange/amber colored beer, with almost no head. The aroma of sweet fruits, apple and orange, with hops. The taste of fruits, also apple with bitter hop notes. The aftertaste is moving from sweet to dry bitter.

Cask, The Criterion, Leicester. Amber with a dense white head. Aromas are hoppy with light burnt malts. Sugary and very kit homebrew. Some Autumn fruit. Flavours are bitter and unbalanced. Sugary sweet malts with burnt, rather than roast malts. Pretty horrible.

Cask Stillage at the Metropolitan Cathedral Crypt, Liverpool 24/02/2001 Not at all on the best of form when sampled, overpowering pungent chemical flavour and aromas dominated.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Barton Arms Birmingham. My notes say amber coloured. The aroma is quite sweet with some anti-septic type notes. The sweet hops almost taste medicinal. A decent beer.
