Cask@RedLionOxford. Banana bread aroma gives way to bitterness with hints of spices, malt continues to dominate. Consistency is a little thin, but appearance is pleasant copper colour. A decent session bitter

Pours golden with a nicely proportioned creamy head. The nose has apples but not the bad apple note! The taste is more apples plus a zing of lime! The palate is light but balanced throughout and there’s a clean finish. Overall, a good beer!

On cask at The Haymarket. Pours a golden colour with a decent white head. Aroma of biscuity malt, yeast and caramel. Similar flavours with moderate carbonation and a creamy mouth-feel. Quite dry to finish. Not bad. Lingering Weetabix and mildly bitter. Very drinkable with just the faintest hint of apple seed to finish.

The Magpie Nicholsons. Clear amber beer. Light and dry palate. Mild fine carbonation. Very tangy orange hops with Liptons lemon tea. Turns a little sweeter before the dry finish.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask at the Craven Arms, Birmingham. Poured a clear medium amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is malty but a little weak. The flavour is medium to weak bitter, with malt and citrus notes. It’s a nice enough beer but lacks the complex flavours that I’m looking for. It’s more of an inoffensive real ale for me and a. introduction proper beer for those who have yet to see the light.
