Cask@The Pineapple, London. Goldeny amber colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral, and mildly nectary. Flavour is fruits, wood, nectar and some mild sweet maltyness.

Cask handpull, The Crown, Nuneaton. Chestnut with a thin beige slick. Stewed, earthy aroma; mushroom dampness, raisin and apple. Hints of Flemish tang and biscuit, clove and stewed apple, pleasant earthiness, poorly ventilated cellar. I quite like this brewery; their beers are never bland and always seem to have some spicy, yeasty interest. Beer of The Day, but it’s early..

Cask, handpump at The Talbot, Uplyme, Devon/Dorset border (just in Devon) 02-4-10 Pours mid chestnut with an off-white head there is a slight haze and a touch of reddiness also showing as it gleams through. This is a bit nutty and malty in the mouth, there is a slender bitterness, bit of toffee, its ok but nowt to get excited about. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0
