Cask at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury. Bucks, consumed 30-12-09 Pours amber with a medium white head. The aroma is a touch sicky but strangely I don’t find it unpleasant. Touch chewy in the mouth, some citrus and a good bitterness, nice length, reasonable malts show, pretty decent session beer. A6 A5 F7 P4 Ov13 3.5

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green - 29/12/12. Lightly hazed mid amber with a thin off white bubbly heaad. Nose is caramel malts, fruit, little hoppage. Taste carries more depth than the nose, caramel malt, dark fruits, candied sugars, touch of bread. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, smooth on the palate with some bitterness in the finish. A decent tasty bitter.

Served on cask into a pint glass into a pub in Cardiff. Pours a hazy dark amber colour, which clears up slowly, fascinating to watch in fact. Smells pretty lightly malty with a hint of hoppiness. Tastes very "solid". Balanced hops and malts creating a refreshing and thirst quenching taste. Overall a lovely beer from a great brewery.

Cask@Seven Stars, Bristol. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity, earthy, yeasty and some mild berries. Flavour is fruits, caramel, wood, some nuttyness as well as some floral notes. Balanced and rather bitter in the finish.

On cask at Nerax North Pours a deep amber/reddish color with a thin white bubbly head. Smells of citrus and earthy hops with a fair bready biscuit malt backbone. Taste is bready malt with a bit of earthy and citrusy hop flavor. Medium to thin body with a light level of carbonation and slick almost watery mouthfeel. This was a decent brew I enjoyed it.

Cask at The Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear, golden pour with a faint head. Light, toasted malts on the nose with hints of pine. Flavor has a mild malt character, some honey, coupled with a mild bitterness of earth and grass. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Balanced but wimpy on the finish, more light malts and some pine, earth hops. Pretty ho-hum if you ask me.

Cask @ CPK. The pour’s medium amber with a small orange-white head. The nose is of tree branch, some sweet malts, red fruit and spun brown sugar. The taste is caramelized orange rind, sweet nutty malts, nutmeg and toasted grain. Notes of baked brown bread and leafy dried hop. Medium body, smooth. Well-rounded if not unbelievably flavorful. Overall, pretty good.

Cask. Coppery orange with off white head. Nice fruity and toffee aroma. Taste is fruity ,floral ,caramel ,bready and a hoppy bitter finish . Pleasantly drinkable

Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: Sweet pale malts, touch of toasted brown bread, its balanced, but i cant figure out the hops. Decent.
