Cask, The Wenlock: With my London guide, Duff. Dark copper with a slightly sweaty citric hop and toffee aroma. Citric flavours dominate with some faint toffee and prominant herbal flavours. Very pleasantly rounded and quite nice.

Cask@The Wenlock Arms, London. A nice IPA, with some sweet barley characters, and the hoppy, bitter citric hops in the finish. Lots of orange rind bitterness, quite tasty i think.

Cask handpull at Simple Simon’s, Canterbury. Copper colour with bubbly ivory colour head. Strong hop aroma, something American perhaps. Malts need to be stronger in mouth before an attack of citrus, intense hop on end. Grapefruit. Needs more malt structure. Hops seem lost without it. And served too cold too. Apart from that its tasty hoppy strong beer. Alcohol doesn’t distort it. Hop finish would be stunning if underpinned by stronger malts.
