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

Cask ... copper coloured ... toffee malt nose ... fruity toffee ... little hop in its base ... easy drinkin.

UPDATED: JAN 27, 2007 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.

500ml bottle, 26th Feb 2008. Orangey amber colour, citrus, malt and hops on the nose and in the flavour. Decent finish - an enjoyable enough ale.

Handpulled cask at JDW Harrow. Light gold with slowly settling creamy head. Very fresh tasting well balanced bitterwith lasting hoppy finish.
