Cask Handpump at the Cross Keys, Knutsford 30/01/2004 Mid brown coloured with sour fruit flavours. Smooth dry malt finish.

Cask conditioned at Barons Bar, Southport. Brown with white head. The 4.7% darker beer, add your own pumpclip from Cottage. Slighlty sweet and fruity bitter, its ok, but nothing special, maybe a tad bland, yawn.

[691-20070925] Cask @ Lamb & Flag (Oxford, OX). Light chocolate and faint alcohol aroma. Clear, rich amber brown body with a quick white bubbly head. Flavour has mild bland grains and some wood notes. Light body is thin. Mild overall, repeatable but boring. (New batch this year?)

,i> Claret Freehouse. Dark amber with pleasant bubbly fading head. Nice beer - a gentle balance of fruit and soft, fragrant hops. A delicious English Bitter - very drinkable and satisfying. Nice one!

UPDATED: AUG 16, 2004 A decent amber strongish bitter. Well balanced and extremely drinkable. Very similar to the Tom Wood Bomber County (qv) which I had earlier in the evening. Handpump, Head of Steam, Euston, London NW1
