Cask handful at Craft Beer Co. Russet colour with lasting beige head. Some spicy rye but a little creamier too. Very decent strong slightly fruit beer. Good .

Cask @ Craft Beer Co., London. Lightly hazy amber color, small off-white head. Smell lightly hoppy, lightly fruity. Taste bitter, lightly hoppy, lightly fruity. Decent carbonation, low to medium body.

Cask at CBC, London. Pours red-brown with a fine, white head. Bit of grapefruit and toast in the aroma. Medium sweet flavor, toast, some rye tang, more grapefruit. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. More grapefruit bitters to finish, some toasty sugars, citrus rind. Great beer.

Something went wrong I think - tastes off but no off flavours if you see what I mean. It’s certainly no summer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask Conditioned Handpump Southampton Arms London. A chestnut coloured beer with a thin whitish head and lacing. Sweet berries in the nose with hedgerow fruity hops. Quite sweet notes in the mouth (I’m guessing there’s rye?) with bready malts and a bitter finish. A bit chewy. The alcohol strength comes through. An interesting beer.

Cask at Southampton Arms. Brown red with small thin beige head. Medium bodied with very low carbonation. Aroma is a bit spicy, bit boozy fruit and a bit grainy. Taste is quite malty, with caramel undertones, and a long bitter finish. Feels more alcoholic than the % suggests. Not very subtle, but pretty nice.

Cask at the Magpie. Deep brown with a coarse white head, pineapple and hops on nose, rich full body with more pineapple notes plus demera sugar and a hint of burnt caramel, all countered by a hugely drying bitter hop bite. Astringent burnt bitterness lasts long into the aftertaste. Great stuff that’s much more than the sum of its parts.
