Cask conditioned Handpump Althorp Coaching Inn Great Brington. A golden beer with a white head and copious lacing. Grassy hops in the nose. Reasonably bitter in the mouth. Hops become a little citrus. A fairly refreshing light hoppy beer.

2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask, The Babby, Derby, 30/11/11. Orange gold with a tight drum of head. Metallic aroma. Some metallic, slightly regurgitated lager/bucks fizz character about this I don’t like. Dank woodland notes, almond like a park bench lager. Catfood. Didn’t finish a half.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On cask at Cloisters. Pours a golden colour with a decent white head. Aroma is a little hoppy with alcohol, barley and grass. Nicely bitter with similar flavours, mild carbonation and a dry finish. A long bitter hay linger also. OK.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at The Railway View, Macclesfield. Clear dark gold with medium white head, good lacing. Nice hop aroma with hints of vanilla and caramel. Smooth fruity flavour with a bitter finish. More good work from Wincle. The only criticism is I live in the nearest town but can rarely get their beer. If you provide, I’ll drink it.
2.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Lots of sediment, but that might be be me pouring it badly which made it quite lively, quite balanced, slightly dry and bitter
