A Mes rate: cask at the Market Porter. Clean gold, good white head and in very good condition. Slight egg on the nose but it’s just about held in check by some decent citric hoppage. I’d love to say more but the flavour is almost identical other than a lick of earthy malt and a developing bitterness in the finish. Straight forward and a little unimaginative.

On tap at The Rake, London. Amber with almost no head. Toffee and citrus aroma. Citrus hop flavours, good bitterness. dry mouthfeel. Decent.

Cask conditioned - handpump - Old Joint Stock, Birminghm. A straw blonde coloured beer with a loose white head. The aroma is thin with a little lemon notes. The taste is bitter and has notes of straw. It’s dry and quite decent really.

Hand pulled at the Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. I believe this to be an attempt at a cask-conditioned Lager - it has a lingering, but not heavy malt flavour. Dry approaching salty, but remains light and soft. Not a brilliant flavour or body.
