Cask conditioned at The Old Contemtibles, Birmingham. Amber with white head. Thinnish, slightly tinny, standard Holdens fare. Sparing on the hops and squeezed out malt.

Cask Handpump at the Green Dragon, Beverley 05/12/2009 Hoppy aroma. Small white head. Golden amber coloured and floral with a crisp and bitter malt finish.

(Cask at Harp, Covent Garden, London, 26 Nov 2009) Amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with apricots, orange and grainy malt. Fruity, malty taste with notes of apricots, orange, grain malt and generous doses of citrussy hops in a slightly metallic, dry finish. Medium body. Well balanced and nice beer with a tasty hop character.

Cask conditioned handpump The Pub Leicester. A copper coloured beer with a loose white coloured head. An odd one this and seemingly quite different to Glen’s experiences a couple of days earlier when I chose soemthing different. The aroma was like sherry coated cake . Quite peaty in the mouth with boozy biscuits. Doubtless quite odd and a bit of a struggle but has endearing qualities I guess.
