Cask (Palmerston Arms, Peterborough)
An adequate aroma for a bitter, a bit caramelly. Dullish. No flaws, but a bit boring. Quite quaffable. Refreshing body, carbonation low. Nice barley in the late finish. Straight down the middle UK cask bitter, so not bad for the strength.

Cask at The Carriers Arms, Watlington, Oxfordshire. An amber coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Fruity, malty aroma. Tastes fruity, malty, some caramel and slight bitterness. Rather plain to be honest but nice to see a non Brakspear ale in this part of Oxfordshire.

Bottle from Drink of Fulham, drunk at home on 31st May 2010. Very good looks - light copper with a diminishing cream coloured head. Malty taste - lots of toffee, bread and biscuit flavours. Rather half hearted hop nose - slightly funky. Smooth and not too thin given the strength. Drinkable bitter.

1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
[on draught at Lyndhurst Ale House, Reading] An old school bitter - brown with a long lasting beige head. Deep earthy bitterness dominates with some malt. Bitterness grows to obliterate everything else & leaves an unpleasant aftertaste.
