Jul 19, 2009 Cask handpull at White Horse, Parsons Green. Copper gold, slight haze, lasting thin beige head. Good tangerine flavour, little bit boozy if being honest. Almost a cognac edge. Not really overly bitter.

Jul 7, 2009 A Mes rate: cask handpull at the Sloany Pony.
Johnny cask, what a great name! Light orange brown and just about holding onto a thin white film. Excellent aroma. Fruity as hell with some really good U.S. hoppage as you would expect but the slight caramel and maple adds intrest and complexity. Possibly a little less excitement in the mouth but that could quite possibly be down to the conditioning at the Pony, plus cask beers tend not to travel the Atlantic too well. All that is great about the aroma is here but it doesn’t sit quite so well. A little hot and slightly astringent but an enjoyable experience. To sum it up, good stuff but the some is not greater than its parts.

May 13, 2009 Cask sample. Pours hazy amber with a thin off white film of foam. Smells sweet and citrussy with some grassy hints. Tastes stick sweet with some caramel on the finish. Chewy mouthfeel.

Mar 29, 2009 Gravity cask at Barcade. Hazy gold beer wit a lacy white head. Aroma is very fresh and hoppy. Heavy leafy hoppiness, a bit of orange peel and grapefruit over a fairly sweet malt component. The flavour is initially quite hoppy and fresh tasting. As the beer starts to warm up, the beer starts to show a bit more of the maple sweetness along with the sticky character of the 90 minute as well. It gets fairly sticky and even cloying the more of it I drink. Lots of orange peel flavour and a resiny/piny hoppy finish. It’s okay, but it needs to dry out a lot before I’d even consider paying for it again.

Dec 22, 2009 Cask (handpump) at the White Horse American Beer Festival, July 2009. Amber colour. Slightly clammy, verging on locker room sweat, aroma but loads of nice hop. Classic leafy, perfumed hop stuff. Sweetish but tasty with a good bite on the finish. Not quite up to the 90 Minute in my eyes but still a nice drop.

Jul 1, 2009 Cask at Barcade. Pours a mahogany body with an off white head. Citrus, pine and grass hop character with a dry vinous woodiness. Very floral hop notes, nice brew.

Mar 27, 2009 Poured a hazy dark golden color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Citrus, piney, dogfish hop aroma. Nicely balanced taste of bitter, piney hops, maple and and resin with a touch of sweet malt in the finish.. Very creamy mouthfeel and foam that lasted until the end.

Mar 27, 2009 Firkin at the Grey Lodge during the DFH 75 Minute Simul-cask. Pours a hazy orange with golden notes and a small bubbly white head. Aroma of sweet malts, caramel, touch of maple syrup, light floral and citrusy hops, earthy and english yeast. Flavor was a bit more hoppy, still kind of sweet, touch of maple, caramel, hops were there and more on the floral and citrusy side. Hop bitterness was rather mellow. This was ok, but nothing too special.
