Cask, Turf Tavern, Oxford. Sturdy copper, just off-white head. Lots of minerals in the nose, sulfer, farmy hops, pound cake. Brisk, full raisin/butter bitterness, blackberries, dry toasty caramel with a rye edge. Light, pleasant, good flavor to abv ratio.

cask at the sultan. light hops in nose, straw gold in colour and then... tastes of wet leather, mouldy cheese and chalk. and a bit metallic. good mouthfeel if you can stand the taste.

Cask/gravity at Battersea Beer Festival 6 Feb 08. Golden brown colored. An OK soapy tanned head. Modest fruity aroma. Dry paperish flavor. A dry finish with hints of biscuit.

Gravity cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 6th Feb 2008. Rather yeasty aroma gets things off to a bad start. Golden yellow in colour, tastes like you’d expect a golden ale to taste. Flat palate however. Decent enough, but flawed and a bit uninspired.
