Cask at the Wenlock Arms, Lahndan tahn, 20-06-08 in the marvellous company of Ian, Mes, Duff, Ang and Loz Pours light golden with no head to speak of. Pretty much starts and finishes with a tangy sweet fruitiness, the bitterness that is present carries a little flying around the roof of the mouth but I found little else to make me want another, its just alright.

Cask handpull at Wenlock for the Fin and Loz meet up. Copper/gold with thin white head. A pretty good tangeriney strongish beer. Bit of tea. It’s fine, pretty decent flavours. OK.

A Mes rate: Cask at Fringe.
Mid gold with a decent white head and lace. Fairly bland aroma but there are some faint dusky fruit and a little bit of green tea and apple. The flavour is a little better. The fruit is better than the aroma and there is a lingering tangy bitterness. Quite grassy in the finish with a late delicate sweetness that adds some interest. Ok.
