Cask@The Roebuck, Richmond, London. Slightly above average bitter, with some light citric notes and dry grainy malts, pretty smooth and easy drinking.

Fairly stale syrup kick in decent clean, generically bitter nose. Decent depth to amber body with the most impressive head of the lot. Nice sticky wafer palate, fading to a clean and inoffensive lift. Developed nicely during the remainder without needing to be rushed. The best of a generic bunch. (Cask, ATP Jeff Mangum, during Low)

First tasted this in the Last Post, Paisley (JDW) in August 2009. Cask, handpump dispense. Crystal clear pale copper in colour with a thick creamy off white head. Slight sulphurous note in the hard boiled egg aroma. Thin, resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a weak digestive biscuit base with thin caramel and dry redcurrant fruit providing a tart woodyness. Slight resiny hops give a dry short bitter note to the aftertaste. Bitter sweet notes in the rounded finish with pink grapefruit coming through. An ok session bitter.

Cask (Shakespeare JDW, London)
Simple. honey aroma. Malty body, but boring. Gazza would hate this, it’s the opposite of what he likes in an English beer. I thought it was pretty OK, smooth and drinkable, but certainly no balls or bite.

Cask at Rising Sun, Lynmouth. An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and yeast, as well as a lighter note of caramel.

(Cask at Black Door, Helsinki, 20110827) The beer poured amber and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had toffee and malts. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were toffee, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. This beer was too one dimensional but it was also clean and balanced.

Cask @ knights templar. Pours a golden copper, with a thin white head. Slightly yeasty. Floral. Can definately taste toffee apple. Quite sweet. Light spice. Light pepper. Slightly earthy. Medium mouthfeel. Light bitter finish

Cask at the Britannia, JDW, Blackheath. Pours light copper with a large head. Aroma is yeasty and apple malt. Taste is yeasty to start and a light coffee finish.

Cask at The Standing Order. Pours a dark golden colour with a thick white head. Aroma of yeast, caramel, barley and grassy hops. Barley flavour with some peppery hops. Mildly bitter with a caramel linger.

Another beer tainted by Wetherspoons bad keeping. Rated a 9 but I felt as if it was off. Why rate it then? Because it didn’t seem a bad beer, vinegar touch aside it was ok. Average at best.

JDW, Rochester. Sugary sweet with jammy background. This is more like fermented sugar water than beer. Few hops. Muddled, muddy finish. not good.
