COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special.
This new beer has been especially brewed for this JDW beer festival. This amber-coloured beer has an easy-drinking character, with complex hop flavours and a zesty, lemon, refreshing finish. To celebrate 30 years of JDW, each hop variety in this beer has been added at 30-minute intervals in the boil, enabling each one to develop its own flavour and identity in the final flavour. Hops used: Fuggles, Goldings, Pilgrim

Cask at some beer festival, forget which. Golden with a thick to medium white head. Nice balance of malts and hops, not huge but damn good bitterness with a little fruitiness. Really enjoyed it.

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - FEB 25, 2010
A Mes rate: Cask at Baker Street ’Sporks.
Golden brown with a thin white head and lots of lace. Good malt, some slightly grassy hops and a nice peaty and old leather note. Slightly astringent but some bloody excellent bitterness really sorts it out, especially in the finish. Very slightly phenolic. Great length. Pretty good stuff.
