Grassy with a dry bitterness, a fairly bland ale and I can’t say I noticed much of the advertised fruitiness. The pump comes complete with a picture of Margaret Thatcher, for which I should really give it 1/5 for appearance.

Cask in London. I’d expected something stronger when they nemed a beer after Baroness Thatcher, but it’s a noce session bitter. Malty body, peaches, piney finish, a hint of sourness.

Cask Handpump at the Penny Black JDW, Northwich 31/10/2009 Floral hop aroma. Small white head. Golden coloured smooth on the palate and hoppy with a little bitterness in a crisp dry and slightly pale malt finish.

Handpulled cask at JDW Stanmore. Amber with a white head. Very predictable Bateman’s house characturistics (yawn)! Next please.

Cask at Bankers Draft (JDW), Bedford, in ’Spoons BF ’09. Coppery gold with a thin white head. Familiar fruity aroma, but what exactly is it? Blackcurrant? Marshmallow? Sweet fruit gum taste with a spicy hint and some lemon. Mid bitter finish. Rather good, interesting beer.

Wehey I’m the tenth rater... Dark amber cask pint at JDW Newcastle, drinks sweet and herbal, a nice pine & resin like edge, particularly in the moderately bitter finish. Decent stuff.

Not bad at all, good flavour, though a little sharp, maybe served too well chilled at wetherspoons.
