[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading] Can’t stand Marco Pierre White, and consequently wanted to dislike this beer. It pours golden amber, moderate white head. Lemon and caramel. Maybe a little watery, and on the sweet side, but it’s a pleasant enough beer that I couldn’t help but quite like. I’ll give the credit to the brewery though, rather than that pillock White.

Light brown colour. Aroma of wood and apple pips. Flavour is quite malty and has a dry woody finish.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pretty standard bitter, quite light with a slight bitter hop taste and some slight toffee on the palate
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Amber with slight head. Eggy, farmy nose leading to a boiled veg, bland, bitter body with a sulphate element. Poor beer in bad form.
1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Very smooth and drinkable, but that’s about all it has going for it. Really bland flavour and makes no lasting.impression.

Cask (handpump) at Great British Beer Festival, day 4 on 5 August 2011. Amber and not very interesting. Not a lot else to say. Nothing offensive here but, if I went to a Marco Pierre White restaurant and got served up food that was as uninspired and mundane as this, I’d be more than a little disappointed to say the least.

Marco Pierre White can keep this, it is like drinking from the dreggs tray.

Crosse Keys Spoons. Clear amber beer. Tidy white head. Mild sulphur and green apple start. Sigh! Mild minerals. Trace amount of hop. Finishes semi dry. Way too much sulphur!

Cask at The Bugle Inn, Tudors. Hazy amber colour with small lasting white head. Low aroma malt and slight fruit. Good malt taste , smooth, slight biscuit and fruit. Bitterness is low on taste but grows slightly on finish. A good bitter.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask at the Kings Head. Middle amber brown bitter, not much on the nose, definitely tastes like a NW bitter, slight malty dryness but overall a bit dull and forgettable really.
