Apr 9, 2007 Updated: Sep 2, 2007Cask @ The Shakespeare’s Head, Kingsway. Amber, no head. Aroma of malt and some fruit. Nice light fruity taste. Reminds me of some fruit drink I can’t place - apple blackcurrant squash is my best guess.

Aug 20, 2006 <a href=http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/23/23603/Plough_Inn/Henfield > The Plough, Henfield. Soapy bitter, but otherwise undistinguished. Lacks hops. Lacks a decent malt flavour. Metallic notes. Not good at all. The keg version tasted better because of the crisp carbonation. This stuff is fairly shit. As imdownthepub indicates, this might be a bright beer intended to be served with a cask breather for landlords who want to offer a slow moving "cask".

Rustic amber colour, creamy, slow settling texture. Easy drinking session beer. No defining features, edges or characteristics.

Jul 1, 2003 Cask Conditioned?? This stretches the point somewhat, very little conditioning noticeable. Sweet caramel, no hops. Believe it or not this used to be a very tasty bitter, but that was before the cost cutters got hold of it.
