downender (2538), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Oct 14, 2009 Cask-conditioned at the Cittie of York, London 13/10/09. Amber in colour with a decent, off-white ehad. Fruity, caramel aroma and flavour, with a touch of earthiness in the finish. Ok. kwik-lime (217), London, England Oct 7, 2009 Beautiful, creamy head that lasts the full of the length of the pint. Nice malty aroma but nothing special taste-wise, a standard and well-balanced session ale that goes down easily but is somewhat boring. ChristianScheffel (4431), Odense, Denmark Sep 26, 2009 Golden with a lasting creamy, almost nitro-looking head. Fruity and malty aroma with an apple peel note. Sweet and malty flavour with a hint of grasy swoopjones (1862), Buffalo, New York, USA Sep 21, 2009 Cask at Angel & White Horse in Tadcaster, England. Orange amberish pour. Rich malt aroma with oaky presence. Beautiful white head. Fuller bodied. Mildly bitter with nice subtle oakiness Herkybird (20), YORK, North Yorkshire, England Jul 31, 2009 This is a mid brown, malty ale with very little hop aroma but a pleasant flavour and full body which is usually very consistent. Add to the fact that it sells for £1.40 a pint in every Sam’s house around York (Jul 09) and it tastes even better. Good beer, exceptional value. However, it is an acquired taste for some. Beware next morning if you overdo it!! Bullit (1300), Glasgow, Scotland Jul 27, 2009 Cask @ The Crown, London. Amber colour, beige dense head. Aroma is malty, bit of caramel. Flavour: toasted malts, vegetable hops. Sweet and bitter finish. Magicdave6 (5400), London, Greater London, England Mar 20, 2009 Cask at the princess louise. Alround rating:
Possibly my first ever bitter direct from a wooden cask. Earthy english malts and fleafy bitter hop, a bit unexciting and just like a sessionable chap that i may have had a few thousand of by now. kempicus (350), Wellington, New Zealand Mar 18, 2009 Tried on cask at the cittie of yorke. Dispensed via sparkler of course! One of the cheapest pints in london i reckon at 1.88 a pint! bloody good drinking for the price, Light fruity aroma on the nose, nice mouth feel with a dry bitter finish, great lunchtime pint!
