Weltons Old Cocky

Brewed by Weltons
Style: Bitter
Horsham, England

Pint pulled at the JDW Railway in Putney (London), a clear amber with a foamy white head. A flowery hop aroma. A good light bitterness on the palate combined with a strong hoppy flavour. A good solid bitter.

Cask pint at a pub in the Gatwick Airport in London
Juicy orange in color, full, pillow-like white head. Has a bit of a juicy, hoppy bite, more sour on the back, with a bit of a gritty, spoiled celery flavor. Nose is slightly hoppy, with some orange juice citrus and bean sprouts/celery scents that take too much away. A bit of a mess.

Cask Stillage at the King George’s Hall, Blackburn 06/09/2001 Amber coloured with a slightly cloudy appearance. Fruity gooseberry flavour. Hop finish.

Cask@Twickenham beer Festival. Some leafy hop characters, and subtle grapefruit. Before that theres a slight caramelly sweetness, a little chalky/dusty, with a bitter finish (grapefruity).

Cask Conditioned, at the Wenlock Arms, London.
Amber/ginger colour, no head and a bit dull looking. Mineral, earthy qualities to the flavour (otherwise known as pond water). Confused malts bounce about with no cohesion. Not a special beer on this occasion. [5,2,5,2,10]
Re-Rated. Cask Conditioned at the Black Jug, Horsham, UK. Straw yellow, with speckled off-white head. Hoppy bitter with slightly more hop flavour than the usual Weltons offering. Served just a few miles from the brewery it was fresher and brighter then previously tried. Rating increased.

Cask Conditioned, White Horse, Hedgerley. Gravity dispense (poured by me). Decent beer, nothing special, and nothing that I remember too vividly.
