Cask handpull at Simple Simons, Canterbury. Chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Fruity malt and pepper hop aroma. Bit of toffee in the mouth. Good condition. Aggressive leafy nettle hop on end which I could still taste halfway through the next pint of Nelson beer.

Cask@Crosse Keys, Central London. Nice hoppy aroma, some fragrant fruit, slightly flowery. The floral characters transfer to the palate, but the palate is a little bit sweet for me. Some toffee apple and orangey hops.

Hand pulled at the Anchor, Birmingham. Hop aroma, orange beer, with a scum top. Bright, shiny taste - orange, pineapple - slight bitterness. Pretty friendly.

Amber in colour with a rich nutty taste and fairly full body. An unusual but very pleasant taste of nuts and marzipan leads to a strongly bitter finish. Strange but very interesting and tasty beer. (Cask at Smithfield, Manchester)
