Cask at the CPK, Pimlico, London on 5th January 2011. Clear amber with an off white ring of foam and no lacing. Aroma is strongly of sweetcorn, main taste is a blend of maltiness, with maize and herb notes and the finish features herby back-of-mouth bitterness building as the corn taste fades. Front-of-mouth sweetness lingers, and the two combine in a fairly lengthy aftertaste. Mouthfeel light to smooth. An interesting beer. The first time I have experienced this corn taste outside the US.

Cask handpull at Ye Olde Thristy Pig, Maidstone. Hazy gold. Thin white. It’s an ok tasty golden ale. Some decent white stone fruit flavour. Some ok hop. Bit plain, but utterly fine.

Cask at Market Porter, London. Pours a pale yellow with a soft head. Modest malt aroma with some grassy hops. Lightly swwet flavor with mild bread, grass and some smoked malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. An awkward finish, with modest sweetness and salty, hammy smoked malts. Not bad, just weird.

Cask. Golden colour with small white head. Aroma is hay, bready malts, some mild nectar and earth. Flavour is fruits, herbs, wood, grass and some earth.

May 2010. JDW Rochester. A robust amber gold best bitter with a noticable hop bite. Rust notes. OK, but unremarkable.

27th April 2010. Slightly hazy gold beer. Dry palate. Tangy fruit. Orange, grapefruit and a little peach. Big surprise here though is smoky malt! Didn’t see that one coming given the beers colour! A bit of apple in the finish. Interesting!
