sm89walt (1419) - Norwich, - OCT 20, 2007
Cask at a Canterbury Wetherspoons. A clear light amber colour with a small and creamy beige head. Its aroma was of sour fruit but quite hidden. The fruity aroma carried through to the taste giving this beer an almost appley flavour with some late hoppyness. Dry and medium-bodied finish. Not completely what I’d expect from an Autumn beer but it was nice nevertheless.

Cask. Amber colour with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma is caramel malts, some slight fruity and floral notes along with some freshly cut wood. Flavour is quite much the same in a nice balance. A bit dry on the palate and has a semi-dry finish.

Rune (5000) - Tromsø, NORWAY - NOV 1, 2010
Dark copper coloured body. A few white dimples on the surface. Aroma is made of caramel malts. Ditto taste with juicy bitterness on the swallow. Traditional bitter with a nice blend of caramel malts and fruits. Cask, half at Bankers Draft (Wetherspoon’s), Sheffield 2 Oct 10.

Finn (2626) - Tromsø, NORWAY - NOV 1, 2010
Cask på Bankers Draft, Sheffield 2 Okt 10. Lys gylden. OK kremskum som forsvinner. Svakt vinaktig aroma. Smaken litt tynn men avrundet fruktig. Kjedelig men OK. Svakt fruktig ettersmak.

downender (4389) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - SEP 25, 2010
Cask-conditioned at the Royal Hop Pole (JDW), Tewkesbury 25/09/10. Deep amber in colour with a slight, off-white head. Fruity malt aroma with an earthy edge. Malty flavour, with some orange sweetness, damp leaves and a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Cask Conditioned handpump Moon On The Square Northampton. An amber coloured beer with a whitish head and lace. A malty beer with woody twiggy earthy notes in the nose. Some berry fruits join the party in the mouth. Ordinary and uneventful.

hughie (3993) - Bedford, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - SEP 26, 2007
Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes. Orange amber with a small cream coloured head. Slightly metallic hop aroma, if that’s possible. Sweet, rounded malt taste with some orangey sourness. Low bitterness. Pleasant enough.
