Dec 3, 2009 Cask in the Alfread herring. Alround rating: Pale caramel sweet malt, a bit buttery, little grassy hop, but its on the sweetside of balance and fairly boring.

Nov 26, 2009 Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Pale gold / straw with white head. little aroma due to the fact that it was freezing cold. Thin, light lagery notes, pleasant enough if you enjoy bland beer, almost artificially sweet, but then a grainy, cereal note forces through to make it drinkable and a touch of tangy hop finish. Saved in the last few minutes.

Nov 24, 2009 A Mes rate. Cask at Baker Street ’Sporks.
My god this is uneventful. It’s one of those beers that make me wonder why I bother. Not close to good enough to finish drinking, not bad enough to have a real laugh at. Just a shining example of British mediocrity. Yes it’s a cask lager. Too sweet to do what it needs too and not enough character to get anyone to move from macro keg lager. Not that this isn’t better. I just dont see the point. No sign of any Hallertau, nor anything else to find interesting. NEXT!

Nov 22, 2009 Blonde cask lager, mild and slightly dry, straw like flavour, mini hops, not much else. A little dull but drinkable.

Nov 15, 2009 Handpulled cask at JDW Watford. Gold with thin white head. A good example of why keg lagers often taste better than cask. Stale, flat and diactyl laden.
