Cask @ 3 Judges. Light brown colour, off-white head. Aroma is malty and fruity. Well flavoured, with fruits, malts, hops. Dry and bitter finish. Well drinkable.

Cask @ The Oxford, Kentish Town, London NW5, UK today. Amber coloured bitter with a small, white lacing head which dissipates to zero after around 20mins. Aroma commences with bready yeast notes then develops nuttiness. Flavour bordered on the savoury with very slightly salty tinge; moderately bitter in the initial kick with a finish that becomes increasingly dry, hoppy and long. Zingy textured mouthfeel.The flavour survived after eating a plate of the pub’s excellent fish and chips.

Handpulled cask at the Fountain near Old Street. Amber with a thin white head. Malty with fruity notes and a crisp bitter finish.

Cask, Turf Tavern, Oxford. Copper, white frothy head. Caramel, a bit mineral/sulfur quality, buttery hops. Resiny mouthcoating hops blend unubtrusively with caramel malt and plumy esters. Surprisingly rustic for a Crouch Vale beer. It’s fine, a little better than average even, but it’s not up to the standard of what I expect from Crouch Vale.

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing yellow head. Light fruity hoppy aroma. Flavour is nicely fruity hops with a light sweetness and followed by a nice caramel malt flavour. Nice bitter and mild fruity finish.

Cask with Mes at the Market Porter, 2nd Sept 2007. Clear amber appearance. Good aroma of grass, hops and a bit of malt. Nice bitterness and then a long lasting clean finish which is just what I like. A highly drinkable session bitter - good stuff from a good brewery.

Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Clear Amber with white head. A good session beer this, as we found out last night. Nicely balanced malt with medium hop impact, slightly sharp lemony and then rounding into a beery hoppy finish. Enjoyable, but I bet it will be gone by tonight, which is a sign of a good beer.
