imdownthepub	2.8 Littlehampton Old Mothers Ruin Cask conditioned at The Tap & Barrel, Littlehampton, W.Sussex. Red amber with thin whitish head. Sweet caramel toffee notes from the start, perhaps some peachy alcohol hints. Just okay. Thursday, March 31, 2016
imdownthepub	2.7 Littlehampton Anchors Aweigh Cask conditioned at The Tap & Barrel, Littlehampton, W.Sussex. Amber with white head. This is a caramel led beer, sweet toffee, butterscotch to the fore. Maybe some late bitterness but little gets through the early issues. Not for me. Thursday, March 31, 2016
imdownthepub	2.7 Littlehampton Mild Cask conditioned at The Tap & Barrel, Littlehampton, W.Sussex. Brown with cream head. There is a tart chocolate note at the start of this, fruity with a boiled vegetable undertaste. Not really up to scratch. Thursday, March 31, 2016
imdownthepub	2.8 Littlehampton LA Gold Cask conditioned at The Tap & Barrel, Littlehampton, W.Sussex. Gold with no head. There is a thin, cereal, metallic character to this, quite sharp with a chemical edge. There is a dry, peachy note in the close. A little disappointing. Tuesday, March 29, 2016
imdownthepub	2.6 Littlehampton Hornblower Cask conditioned at The Tap & Barrel, Littlehampton, W.Sussex. Brown with no head. Flat beer, malty with a heavy caramel, toffee note, sweet and a little clinging on the palate. Butterscotch in the close. A little unfortunate. Tuesday, March 29, 2016
imdownthepub	2.6 Littlehampton Riptide Cask conditioned at The Tap & Barrel, Littlehampton, W.Sussex. Brown with no head. This proved to be a bit of a toffee bomb, heavy caramel notes, sweet but otherwise thinnish malts. Sweet throughout. Not for me. Tuesday, March 29, 2016
imdownthepub	2.7 Littlehampton Neptune Cask conditioned at The Tap & Barrel, Littlehampton, W.Sussex. Dark brown with no head. This is quite a sweet, fruity, malty beer, a little like a flat mild as there was little condition to the beer. The sweetness pervades through the beer. Not quite right. Tuesday, March 29, 2016

maeib	2.5 Littlehampton LA Gold Cask conditioned handpump Fountain Head Brighton 21/05/12. A hazy yellow gold coloured beer with an off-white head and white lace bizarrely. Fruity but rubbery. There appears to be a lot of wheat in this. I don’t think this was in optimum condition and the rubber is certainly off putting. Not the best. Thursday, May 31, 2012
leaparsons	3 Anchor Springs IPA Cask, The Salmon, Leicester. Hazy gold with an off white head. Aromas are biscuit malts with caramel and earthy, yeasty notes. Flavours are sweet grain and dry biscuit with black tea. Leafy with some trace mint. Hints of woody oak with a dry finish. Not bad. Thursday, March 8, 2012
