Cask at Merton Summer Beer and Cider Festival 2009 18-07-09 Pours lemony to golden in colour its a great looker to be fair. Some light maltiness on nose. Tangy and fruity in the mouth, the finish is dry and at times I was quite literally bowled over if you’ll pardon the cricketing connection by the thrusting bitterness that shone through.

A Mes rate: Cask at the Crown Inn, Stockport.
Bright gold with a thin white head. Lemony hop aroma with an excellent earthy malt base and a little bit of pepper on top. Full on pungent hoppage in the mouth, plenty of fruit and some good earthy notes in the background. Lovely bitter lemon finish with a slight biscuity hint. Decent stuff.

Cask in Blackfriars. Aroma is pale biscuity malts, citrus and grassy hop, however small plasticy note is here. Taste is similar but without the plasticy note, quite drinkable indeed, but a little boring.
