Cask conditioned @ Giddy Bridge (JDW), Soton. Malty caramel and banana. Fairly rounded and drinkable with a little earthy hop in the finish. Not too bad but slightly lacking in both the hop and malt departments.

Light, pale ale style beer, well balanced with the malt and hops, pleasant enough for me to have 4 on a session

Aroma is malt and caramel, light copper, small custard head, trace o’ lace. Flavour is roast malt, toffee, red plums, apples a bit of woodiness too. Light bodied, very well balanced, sweet, bitter and dry. Terrific session!

Cask conditioned handpump Racehorse Northampton. A golden coloured beer with a whitish head. A light aroma of slight hop but at the back is a nasty rubbery note. This carries forward big time into the mouth which is pretty nasty. Boiled underpants. Yuck.

Cask@The Monro, Liverpool. Bronze colour with a fading off white head. Sweet slightly fruity aroma. Flavour was sweet malty and lacking any real character. Lightly bitter finish. Ok (ish) but leaning towards the average side of the street.
