[CASK: The Waterhouse, Manchester 31/03/07] A pretty poor ale. Not very tast and quite hard drinking. Overall was not the worst but had far far better.

[on cask @ RBESG 2009] Pleasant lemony pine hops with a faint hint of caramel. Clear copper under a lasting white flannel blanket. Weak spicy malt flavour with strong bitterness and not enough malt flavour. Light body, moderate bitterness, low to moderate carbonation.

[RBESG, Sheffield]Cask @ Crown and Kettle, Manchester.golden/ Light amber, white creamy head. Sweet fruity malt aroma. Dry hoppy flavor. pine,grass. moderate bitterness.

Cask @ Crown and Kettle, Manchester.
Pours clear golden with a small, creamy, white head. Aroma is sweet, light apricot and sweet, doughy malts. Fine, dryish mouthfeel. Flavour has dry pine, some notes of oak, lightly herbal and spicy. Soft malt sweetness to add some degree of balance.

Cask in the crown and kettle, manchester. Alround rating: Biscuity pale malt, yeasty wheatyness, lightly dusty but a decent fruity hop character.

Cask handpump at the Everyman Bistro, Liverpool 29-11-08. Pours golden with a white creamy slim head. Lovely juicy fruits show, really good citrussy tang, and its a bit zesty to boot. This is a good beer, its fresh, bit dry, but so lovely and tangy and really impressive for the abv. A6 A4 F8 P4 OV15

Cask (handpump) @ The Old Market Tavern, Alrincham, Cheshire England WA14 4DN.
Clear medium orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, old malt notes, moderate hoppy, citrus, old citrus notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. (280708)

Cask-conditioned at the Summer Beer Festival, The Royal Oak, Bath 17/07/08. This was corrupted by diacetyl - butterscotch totally dominated the aroma and flavour in an overpowering, cloying way. Awful.

A Mes rate: Cask at The Olde Market Tavern.
Clean gold with an excellent white head and lace. Shit hot condition as always at the OTM. Lovely sprucey, grassy transatlantic hoppage. Almost chewy in an American IIPA type way. Bags of citrus. Wonderful lengthy hoppy finish. Lovely.
