Cask Stillage at the New Century Hall, Manchester (Upstairs Bar) 21/01/2009 Fruit and hop aromas. Clear golden coloured and hoppy with a grapefruit flavour. Crisp on the palate with a little dryness and bitterness in a malt finish.

Cask (Market Porter, Borough): Golden, fine and firm lacy head; solid dry lemony-hoppy nose; light to medium bodied, robust dry bitter flavour; extremely lingering citrussy-hoppy finish. Fine, fine stuff.....

Bottle. Yellow with some fruitiness.Very flat and totally lacking in life. Slightly thin so overall not that impressive.

A Mes rate. Cask handpull from the Market Porter.
Very clean gold with a good white head. If it was in good condition, it would be 4 but I’m in the Market Porter so the best one can hope for is ok. Fruity but mainly very wheaty and grainy. Like a bowl of cheerio’s. It tastes almost like there is a slight infection. Blend between chalk and lemon with some (thankfully) pleasant hops. Dry and bitter finish brings it back on track. Otherwise dull and boring.

UPDATED: NOV 27, 2010 Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Pale amber in colour with a thin off-white head; honey aroma; oily texture with a clean honey flavour and a sharp bitterness to finish (6/3/6/3/14=3.2).

50cl bottle from Londis, Barlaston, Staffs. Pale amber with a billowing cream head; earthy aroma; biscuity flavour with some honey and a gently bitter finish. Very drinkable. (6/4/6/3/15=3.4)

Cask @ National Winter Ales Festival 2009, Manchester. Pours a golden color with a small white head.Has a fruity malty grassy citrus hoppy aroma. Fruity malty citrus hoppy flavor. Has a fruity malty finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: Pale balanced malts, grassy citrusy even peppery hop character makes for interesting and good drinking.

Cask conditioned at Merton Winter Beer Fest 09. Gold with white head. Another really good light beer at this festival, hoppy on a light fruity body, a touch of sweetness from the malt and a lingering fruit similar to kiwi fruit. Very nice.
