Draught @ Mash. Clear pale amber with small off-white head. Malty aroma with some fruity hints of dark fruits. Malty caramel and hoppy flavor. Long dry bitter finish.

Draught@brew pub. Dark brown - coca cola look-a-like, small white head. Toasted malts and fruitcake in the nose. Grassy, woody malty, caramelly flavor. A bit bready and harsh finish.

On tap (keg) at Mash, London, October 2005. After two bland and characterless beers at Mash, I kind of had a suspicion about what might be coming next. Fairly pale amber colour. Maybe a little less insipid than the other two, if only because of the preponderance of doughy malt and caramel. Not much else going on. I’m going to give it one extra click, just for tasting of something. The fourth Mash beer was not available on this visit. Don’t know whether to be disappointed (at least I would have got them all out of the way in one fell swoop) or thankful.

Aug, 2005. Mash Bar, Oxford Circus. Surprising how old this tastes even though served fresh in the brewery. As with the other beers there is extra gas that bloats the stomach and causes belching. An unpleasant side effect of forced carbonation. Rough cardboard flavours both clash and add morbid interest.

Clear copper body with no head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, light herbal. Light-medium body with a bit of stickiness.

Pours a light amber hue, clear as a window, with a halo of a head. Aromas of malt, butter and eggs. Flavors of roasted malts, and a hint of spice.

on draft mash: slight malt nose and character in the glass. lacking in the bubbles as all of the beers are. quite weak and uninpressive.

TAP: smells like a piece of cold wheat toast with egg salad on it. Nice amber color, though, with a low frothy head. Orange malt taste, toasted too. Some late arriving hop character. Fairly bitter. Medium body, round mouth feel. Loud place, that MASH, with GenXers all over the place.

Malty roasted light nose. Little head, liveley carbonation, light red color with hints of brown. Malty and nutty taste but slightly. Medium pockerin mouthfeeling. Stupid Barkeeper and kind of ultra hip place.

Strong caramel aroma. Amber/brown color, small white head, fair lace. Sweet, caramel. Long lasting finish but way too sweet. I know this has nothing to do with the beer, but the brewery/restaurant was very very expensive. Nice interior though, totally not english.
