cask at cloisters ...copper ... thin off white head ... soft fruit nose ... sweet toffee ... light sweet honey hop ... very soso

On cask at Cloisters. Pours a golden colour with a decent white head. Aroma of caramel, grassy hops and alcohol with similar flavours. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Not bad but I would have preferred more bitterness.

Cask @ 3 Judges. Clear dark golden colour, medium white head. Aroma is light malted, fruity. Flavour is malty, creamy, followed by biscuit malts. Slightly dry and bitter. Fruity. Well drinkable.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 8/4/10. deep amber with a slight, off-white head. Sweet aroma of malts and fruit. Flavour was similar, with a touch of earthiness and decent, bitter finish. Ok.

Cask (handpump) @ Halfway House, 24 Fleshmarket Close, Edinburgh, Scotland EH1 1BX.
Unclear medium orange color with a averag, frothy - creamy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, caramel, light to moderate hoppy, citrus. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20090408]

Cask handpull, The Black Bull, Warkworth, Northumberland. Brilliant amber gold with a slender white collar. Minimal peardrop and caramel aroma leaking out. Soft, grassy and lemony with caramel stillness, gentle nutty, hay, cask and peardrop notes.

Cask at the Crown Posada, Newcastle. Aroma of grass and hops and the flavour has an added sweetness. Well-balanced and flavourful for an under 4% beer.

Aroma was sweet and appely, pale malts came though, grassy hop. Taste is pale malts and an annoying bitterness that i dont like.

Lightly hopped aroma and flavour from this above average good quality, non-watery bitter.
