Cask at Ship and Mitre, Liverpool Had just been to the Baltic Fleet home of the Wapping brewery and this beer was everything they were trying to be and just failing slightly. This is golden, clear, fresh, refreshing with lots of citrus flavours and acids and hops on the end. Good in mouth with long lasting finish of grapefruit

Half pint cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden and with little white head. Aroma is slight floral. Flavour is medium sweet to dry. Quite fruity towards floral. Finish holds a fresh bitter and floral note. Nice.

Cask at Pete’s Waterfront (Bklyn). Hand pumped a slightly hazy golden color with a thin head. Some slight lemon in the aroma as well as grassy notes and light cereal (almost wheaty) malts. Nice clean flavor--straw to cereal malt, kind of wheaty tasting, with a slightly grassy hop finish. I think I hit this cask at just the right time--everything seemed to be in equilibrium. Clean, mild, smooth, no infirmities, just pure golden real ale, very poundable and refreshing.

Cask at Charlie’s, Copenhagen
Golden color. The aroma has some grassy hop. Balanced flavor, dry malt, good grassy hop, and a quite clear yeast footprint that improves it. Dry and a bit astringent. Good and refreshing.

Nettle-accented leafy hop aroma. Straw hued beer pillowed with white froth. Grapefruit citrus bitterness with slivers of applepeel giving way to a long, smothering freshbread finish. Made everything else after taste bland in comparison. Pleasantly hoppy brew, but not quite up to their usual standards. Cask, Knickersby ’Spoons.

Cask. Pours a nice clear golden colour with a fair white head. Soft bit flat mouthfeel. The flavour is quite fruity and hoppy with malt and some citrus. Well lasting dry hoppy and fruity finish.
