Cask at Wenlock Arms, London It was difficult to pick a winner between this and the Brewers Gold to be honest but the Crouch Vale just about won it. Again a golden beer with a really good hoppy nose with hints of raspberry and strawberry. Good in mouth with a pleasing finish of hops and fruit Re-rate cask condition handpull at Yew Tree Inn Barfrestone. Really intense rich flavours on the aroma, hop and Turkish delight. Rich and sherberty in mouth with great hop and red berry finish. Superb.

Cask @ Market Porter Clear dark amber with medium off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with roasted malt and caramel. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, caramel and hops. Soft mouthfeel and a mild bitter end.

Cask Handpump at the Old Harkers Arms, Chester 10/03/2002 Amber golden coloured with some pale aroma. Wheat flavoured finish.

A Sim rate (Cask at Planet Thanet): Hoppy, hoppy, hoppy. This should be the most hoppy beer that Jason’s mate ever brewed. Slightly floral aroma. Dust. Tastes like straw... and hops! Damn! Hops! Citrus finish. Looks dull and watery but with decent lace.

Cask @ The Wenlock Arms, London.
Pours dark golden with a nice, small, creamy white head. Aroma is soft, some vanilla and flowery hops - some roses, even. Quite lively mouthfeel for a cask ale - maksing it rather fresh. Lovely bitter flavour, lots of fruity and flowery hops. Wonderful dryness. Gimme more!

Cask@The Market Porter, Borough, London. I was pretty thirsty by the time i got to the pub, so the 1st couple of sips went down really well. Unfortunately this got pretty boring. Some aromatic hops, fairly crisp and clean, but it tasted a bit too malty and sweet. yes, there are some some LIGHTLY aromatic hops in here, but not enough to give the finish length or interest, a fairly nice session ale in my book.
