Rune (4671) - Tromsø, NORWAY - AUG 23, 2011
Half pint, well kept cask at Sir Christopher Hatton. Copper coloured body, faint white head. Malt-fruity aroma with resinous hops coming through. Bready malts in the taste profile mixed with resin-like hops. More resinous bitterness to the finish. Well made bitter (London, 01.08.2011).

Ethereal (2355) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 31, 2011
Cask at The Bell & Crown, Canterbury, 16th Oct 2010. Coppery amber with quite a musty nose, lots of earthiness. Quite caramel taste. Balanced and drinkable enough.

DanielBrown (2586) - Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, ENGLAND - JUL 29, 2011
Hand pulled at the Old Contemptibles, Birmingham. Ooh, this was disappointing. Over tart, with a bundle of my least favourite UK cask characteristics: sickly malt, sour tinges in all the wrong places etc. Tastes far too strong, even though it isn’t.

EdKing (775) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 22, 2011
Pours reddish brown with good clarity. Thin head. Nose is very good. Lots of citrous, grapefruit, lemon. Taste is citrous and fruity with caramel malt. Interestingly though, it doesn’t have much kick on the finish and is fairly light in flavour on the palate. Great nose and first taste and then tends to be quite subtle on the palate. No big fruit kick so a good session beer. Good refreshing bitter though and out of the ordinary.

Gary (1014) - London and Rochester, Kent, ENGLAND - JUL 16, 2011
(Cask @ The Man Of Kent,Rochester, Kent.). I like anything dry hopped . A good ale , but this wasn’t arousing on the dryness I seek ; Chewy hops ..resins and toffee notes . ’ It is what it is ’ = a plesent , easy to drink best bitter .
