Cask handpull, The Crown, Nuneaton. Murky copper colour, good persistent lid. Hint of catbiscuit aroma but decent dried apricot and blackcurrant fruit. Digestive biscuit, husks, apple peel and coriander-like dust. Good bitter with hints of interest. Cottage are alright.

Cask (Angleterre, Helsinki)
6 Fruity aroma, but its a little overripe, and a touch green.
3 Mid orange, healthy spongy head
6 Fruity and barky biter taste, some citrus.
3 Pleasant bitter finish
13 Pretty simple, but certainly quite pleasant. Tastes like mzny others Ive had recentle.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 15/10/09. Amber in colour with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of fruity, sweetish malts. Flavour was also malty, with a touch of caramel, hint of earthiness and vaguely bitter finish. Forgettable.

Cask at the Charles Dickens, Sothwark. This good area for pubs is getting even better. I was given a very good sample of this first, but as it was the end of the cask, I was recommended not to make it a pint. A proper session ale, fine malt and hops balance. Very quaffable.

A Mes rate: Cask at the Belvedere, Liverpool. Tasty beer with fruit and caramel and something distinctly medicinal about it. Balanced and sessionable. Nice stuff.

Cask Handpump at the Hillsborough Hotel, Sheffield 17/11/2006 Floral slightly rich aroma. Amber coloured and fruity. A little rich on the palate. Some dryness in a crisp full malt finish.

Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Tawny brown, slim head. Mmmm, really good and tasty beer. Sweet, full taste. Cakey, slightly hoppy, with icing sugar to finish. Nectar, some syrup. Just feels good to sup, even though it wouldn’t always be my thing.

Cask at Ship and Mitre, Liverpool. I agree with imdownthepub. Light brown citrusy bitter but with a good underpinning of malt. Excellent session beer
