cask @ Three Judges. Bright gold with lovely thick cask head and lacing. Phenolic aroma is not offensive, but is gluey. Soft palate. The grain and malt flavors are nice with toasty pale malts and puffed cereals.

Murky pale ale, lightly malty and hops, quite metallic background which is bordering un unpleasant. Not good, perhaps should try again later.

A Mes rate: Cask at the Market (No) Porter.
Clean gold with a thin white head. One of the most offensive smelling cask ales I’ve had in quite a while. Diacetyl, pig farm and a really raw hit of hay. It’s like being in a barn, and not in a good way. Tastes almost identical, except there is some corn added. Rather a lot of corn. Big meaty hit also. Seems to me that this was brewed with roast beef Monster Munch. Awful. The worst cask ale I’ve had for a long time.
