Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London.
Deep amber coloured body. Thin grey vale. A comprehensive blend of malts greats you from the outset. Wide ranging with rich ripe fruit flavours. Balanced nicely by bitter length the beer drinks nicely, even if I was a tad cautious of the 4.8% ABV.

Cask Handpump at the Smithfield Hotel, Manchester 01/09/2001 Amber coloured strong in alcohol and pale. Malt and wheat finish.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen.
Hazy amber beer with a fine off-white head. Classic English bitter aroma of hop, malt and flower. Flat and rather mild flavor. Dry hoppy and light spicy with flower tones. All right but ordinary.

Cask, Dark amber color, light hoppy aroma, medium bitter dry fruity taste, medium body, bitter dry finish.

[Cask conditioned] Amber coloured. Fruity and slightly hoppy aroma. Fruity and rather malty flavour.

A beutiful amber beer with a good head. It has a very nice aroma of flowers and fruit and that it comes from a cask. The flavor is of a good maltblend, prickling your tongue and ending in a good bitterness. And ofcourse it has the cask feel.
