A Mes rate: Another bottle from the Royal Toke that we sunk on the benches outside the George Inn. Mid amber with a decent white head. Hoppy, grassy aroma that is much more IPA than ESB. Malty and unrefined flavour with some sweet cereal notes underneath. Not a great beer.

Cask @ YNWA, Kolding. Pours a golden deep orange with next-to-nothing head. Aroma is light caramel with a good dose of grassy hops and a little sulfur. Low carbonation. Flavour is very soft, lots of caramel at first. Then a surge of wonderful hops hit me, but maintains a great balance. Pine and flowers dominate, giving it a great dryness at the end.

Cask@The Market Porter, Borough, London. Quite bitter, with lots of green hop characters. Earthy malt/hop notes, with some slightly sappy citric hops, quite dry and bitter in the finish.

Cask conditioned at The Market Porter, Borough, London. Amber with white head. This was 5.5% on cask. Big fruity beer with a heady alcohol note. Drying, dusty hop flavour in a slightly confused body, bitter finish. Pretty reasonable overall.

Cask conditioned at Charlies. Amberish orange coloured. Fruity and hoppy aroma. Sweet fruity hoppiness in the flavour with a rather dry and bitter finish. Refreshing and pleasant.

Copper with a lasting off-white head, leaving fine lace. Pungent grassy hops aroma, with some apples and caramel. Semi-sweet with some bitterness.
