Cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 12th March 2009. Standard amber looks, flat condition. Cardboard malt taste and no hop balance. Dull.

[Cask at Plough Inn, Wingfield, Bedfordshire] Amber-tan with a small white head. No carbonation, smooth mouthfeel. Some traw in the flavour, but little else - dominated by a very bitter finish. Too bitter for me I’m afraid (surprised others here have said it was sweet).

Pale-ish golden brown, very thin head and struggling for condition. A very run of the mill bitter. Sweet malt, faint tartness, slight herbs, no balance. A little rough in all honesty.

Cask, Black Horse, Walcote. Clear amber with an off-white head. Aromas are light malts with tea,. Flavours are sweet grain with grain. Hints of caramel with some fruit acidity. OK..

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Peterboro BF 2008. A copper coloured beer with a sweet aroma with caramel notes. The taste is a bit sickly with berry fruitsbeing too sweet. Fairly unpalatable in places.

Cask, gravity at Peterborough BF ’08. With a name like that you expect a bit more than this insipid coppery brew with a sweet malt aroma, a rather thin and watery fruity taste and only slight bitterness. Dull beer.

Cask @ 3 Legged Mare, november 07. Shinny golden/ orange color with a creamy medium head. Spicy, slightly nutty flavor with a very slight vinous note. Medium mouthfeel with some mineral notes and a quite astringent finnish. Interesting peanuts/ earthy arome but somewhat restrained. Nice golden bitter.

Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest 07. brown amber beer with white head. Good quaffing bitter with a deeper body, rich roasted malt with a steady dry hop. Sweetish throughout. Must try again.
