A Mes rate: Cask at the Wenlock. Rather poor overall. Metalic, little too much of the iron filings and off milk. Murky brown looks only make it worse to be honest. Yeah yeah.

Cask@The Wenlock Arms. This is a pretty bad mild. Very thin and watery, with an annoying acidity throughout. Pretty thin watery and crappy. I know milds are meant to be mild, but this was a bit ridiculous.

Cask condition handpull at The Wenlock Arms. Very dark brown colour with lasting cream head. Not a huge amount of flavour, some roasted malt. Bit dull, watery, but it’s a mild.

Cask (gravity) at the Melton Mowbray CAMRA festival 2005. A little weak all around; perhaps I’m just not cut out for mild. Found it a little washy round the edges, soggy biscuit malt and little redeeming fruitiness. Not a bad beer, but not something I’d cross the road for again.
