Nov 19, 2006 Cask (handump), Penderels Oak (JDW), Holborn, London, October 2006. Golden colour, with a lasting white head. Lively condition, but not too fizzy. Scant aroma, but it was a bit cold. Modest citric notes in the flavour but not a huge amount there really. Dry, clean finish. Nor unpleasant but I would expect a bit more depth from a 4.7% beer.

Oct 18, 2006 Clear golden body. Completely missing head. Light floral hoppy to the nose. Golden beer with mix of citrus and malts. Shades of butter, but otherwise alright with a vague bitterness in the ending. Right beer for an indian summer in late September (Half on gravity at The St Albans Beer Festival 27.09.2006).

Oct 13, 2006 cask at the Maltings, York: Aroma is of floral hops and pale malt. The beer came off the tap with a small white cask head and had a golden transulcent body. Nicely balanced taste, that was heavier on malt, but went more into floral hops in the finish. better than average bitter.

Oct 12, 2006 1/2 pint cask, Kenilworth, Edinburgh. Pale golden colour with a somewhat coarse off-white head. Nice soft shortbread-like malt-aroma. Smooth malty flavour with some citrus fruity hops. Somewhat boring after a while.

Oct 10, 2006 Cask@The Market Porter, Borough, London. The name of this beer refers to Colin Montgomerie, the Scottish golfer and i’m guessing it was a special for the Ryder Cup golf. This was sweet and buttery (diacetyl!) and caramelly. Lots of butterscotch. I’m not sure if it was the condition at the pub or the beer is meant to taste like this.
