Cask conditioned at The Market Porter, Borough, London. Gold amber with white head. Floral dry and fruity bitter, with the accent towards maltiness, although there is a hint of hoppiness in the shortish bitter finish. Never really gets going enough, fairly average.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Gold. Some sweet malt in the aroma and taste, but basically a hoppy golden ale, utterly devoid of Christmas cheer.

Cask@Pigs ear BF 06. Quite boring. Some light grassy characters come through, but thats about it. In my notes i’ve written the word boring about 4 times.

Pigs Ear. Hoppy and pale malt. Fairly assertive for the strength. A beer that’s kicking out to be noticed, but not doing enough to impress when people do start paying attention. Lingering bitterness.
