renffisch (461), london, Greater London, England Jul 9, 2008 cask @ kingston bf 08. Nose of wet copper, salt, seaweed, mould. boggy and off-putting. Dark copper colour, light rim. tastes of fruit, wet cardboard and rust. actually tastes tinny. bad.
harrisoni (5605), Ashford, Kent, England Oct 16, 2008 Cask handpull at JDW, Folkestone. Classic session bitter, with some malt, hop and yeast character. Cracking condition. Yes, it’s not a whole lot of flavour or too exciting, but what it does, it does well. maeib (4141), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Oct 8, 2008 Cask conditioned - handpump - JDW Northampton. A light amber coloured beer with a white head and lacing. The aroma has ditchwater and hidden fruit. Scant malts and fruit in the mouth. Pretty ordinary but probably not in the best form. hughie (2458), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Oct 2, 2008 Cask at Spoons, Milton Keynes. Reddish amber with a white head. Not a great aroma: reminiscent of vinegar. Taste had some sour fruit and a reasonable biscuity background. Slight bitterness. downender (1785), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England Jul 3, 2008 Cask-conditioned at the Mad Bishop & Bear, Paddington Station 2/7/08. deep gold in colour with a slight white head. Slight biscuit malt aroma. Easy drinking with plenty of bitter flavour and a touch of dry hop. Ok.
