Cask conditioned at The Royal Oak, Prestbury, Gloucs. Gold to amber with slight head. There is a strong apple fruitiness in this, quite sharp on the palate, fruity right the way through. Not sure.

The Postal Order (JDW), Worcester. Resolving pale gold, big nitro swell of head. Sulphur and weak grassiness aroma. Sourish, earthy gooseberry fruit developing a good punchy bitterness. Some softening bread and corn. Big malt length- lingers with cream, nuts and Twiglet yeastiness. Dry and empty.

Cask Handpump at the Beer House, Manchester 24/06/2001 Amber coloured with some yeasty flavours. Bitter finish.

Cask@Red Lion BF, Isleworth, London. Pretty average, crisp and clean, slightly zingy aromatic hops, but pretty bland.

Not red at all, but named after Gilbert de Clare, a 13th century earl of Malvern Chase. This is a pale blond ale with a zesty citric hop character in the aroma and the flavour. Very crisp and refreshing. No great complexity, but a nice beer. Cask (gravity), Red Lion Beer Festival, Isleworth.
