On cask at Chanter. Pours golden with a decent head. The nose is floral but not as fresh and fruity as expected. The taste is similar. The palate is light to medium in structure and texture with a fairly clean finish. Overall, solid but nothing special.

Cask. A very poor beer. Unbalanced with a sweet toffee flavour dominating.

Cask at the Union, Kingswinford. Pours gold with a small head. Aroma is slightly sicky, light straw malts. Taste is sweet to start with a light straw malt finish and a little toffee on the aftertaste.

CAMRA minibus outing: Eccleshall in Staffordshire being the target: two pub beer fests and other good places too. First pub is the exclellent George Inn, recently returning to the Slaters brewery family: they has a fest on and this was my first half of the session. Light amber body with an off-white head, the beer was gravity poured straight from the barrel. Semi sweet nose and taste, the malts held the main flavour, with caramel and toffee being the top tastes I found. Pleasant, but nothing special.
