Cask Conditioned at The Church, Ludlow. Pale straw with bubbly head. Dry clean IPA but with a thinnish base. Plenty of sharp hop and a pepperiness, light on the finish.

On cask at The Stagg’s Beer Festival, 2011. Pours a light golden colour with a thick white head. Aroma of caramel, barley and grassy hops. Similar flavours with barley upfront, light caramel, grass and yeast. Moderate carbonation and a foamy mouth-feel.

Cask conditioned at The Market Tavern, Durham, as Derwent Whitwell & Marks Pale Ale, but I assume this is the same beer. ABV is the same, 4.4%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma, a whiff of fruit, a hint of sulphur. Smooth flavour, some bitterness in the finish, becomes sharp in the aftertaste.

Cask at GBBF 2010, 5th Aug 2010 (as Derwent Whitwell & Kendall Pale Ale). Bright golden amber with a small white head. Grassy, funky, sulphurous nose. Light biscuit malt taste, drinkable palate.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2010. Gold, lasting beige head. Some sulphur on aroma. Then an ok golden ale, some hop. Really quite reeky. Almost riesling like petrol.

5th August 2010. GBBF.
Clear gold beer. Tiny white head. Light dry palate. Dry fresh malt. Light but bitter orange hop. Finishes very dry.

Cask@GBBF2010 (as Derwent Whitwell & Marks Kendal Pale Ale, 4.4%). Hazy goldeny orange colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, wood, leather and some mild nutty notes as well. Flavour is fruits, nuts, earth, herbs and some mild toffee and earthyness.

Cask (as Derwent Whitwell & Mark Pale Ale, sampled at Lake Wasdale): Golden to deep golden, lacy white head; light fruity and bitter nose with a sourish touch; light to moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light bodied; short - almost a bit vinous - bitter and sweet finish. Yawn.....

As Derwent Whitwell & Mark Kendal Pale Ale, according to beermad there doesn’t exist an IPA, abv is the same as this. From cask, GBBF 2010. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Aroma is dry malty. Roasted malty flavoured, rather dry and slight bitter. Roasted lasting malt impression into a dry and roasted finish.

,b>Dec, 2008 Bridge Hotel Newcastle. A smooth pale ale with some green apple notes. Touch of caramel. OK.

Cask (handpump) @ GBBF 2007, London. Clear light yellow amber color with a small to average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head.
