2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask conditioned @ Humble Plum, Soton. A bit of a doughy malt start. There are a few hops in here but mostly felt in the moderately bitter finish which leaves the beer a bit too malt focused for me.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Mid orange beer with a thickish white head. Distinctly malty aroma, biscuity sweet with a faint hint of grassy hop. Dry mouthfeel, bittersweet, smoothy malty taste, biscuity and sweet, but with a balancing dry, grassy hop flavour towards the end.

Cask @ The Be.. Bath. Deep gold with casky head. Soft oily palate. Yummy mellow flavors. Wet fur aroma is not as offensive as that sounds. Nice malt sweetness throughout. Sweet and sticky. Not the greatest beer but drinkable.

Cask conditioned - handpump Lamplighter, Northampton. A golden coloured beer with a small whitish head and a little lace. The aroma and taste haev signs of diacetyl which give it an impression of sweetness. Some fruitiness and maltiness. A little too sweet and verges on the chewy.
