Cask at the Cask Pub & Kitchen, London on 5th March 2010. Copper with initially lacing, but mostly diminishing, white head. Pungent, hoppy and bitter with some hints of fruitiness. Touch of tongue-citrus, then bitter finish. Pleasant.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 20 June) Colour is dark copper, with a foamy, lasting head. Nose is malty and fruity, with a nice character of dusty hops and sewage. Taste is malty and fruity, with the same dusty hop character and a long, balanced, bitter finish. Rather dry. Very nice and tasty regarding the low abv.

Cask with Mes at the Market Porter, 2nd Sept 2007. Clear light amber looks. Sweet caramel aroma and a strong, basic flavour of hops and malt. Decent mouthfeel and a long finish. Not much to wax lyrical about but a good everyday session bitter..

Cask (Market Porter, London) - Copper coloured. Fruity aroma with caramel, dried fruit and some hoppy hints. Fairly fruity taste with notes of toffee, caramel, hops and tea.

[Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm] Clear brownish amber. Very dry and butty with really light body. Bordering to feeling watery, but the malt manages to hold up, and the drybess makes it very drinkable. The finish has notes of tobacco and light grassy bitterness. A quaffer.

Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: Nice fruity session bitter, hints of berry fruit over grassy herbal bittering hop.
