Cask at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Hazy golden color, no head. The glass smell the egg; it covers the rest, but it doesn’t seem to be much more. Rather weak, with some dry caramel flavor, some bitterness without hop quality, light herbs. Uninteresting.

Cask gravity at Ashford Rugby Club BF 2007. Gold orange colour with thin off white head. Attractive spicy heather aroma. Flowery too. Good in mouth, distinctive and it is done very well, no flavours are out of sinc here. Enjoyable.

Cask@The White Horse. Clear copper color, not much head. Spicey cardamon aroma. A bit earthy cask. Nuts, toffee, spices (cardamon, clove), some kind of pear fruityness too.7

A Mes rate: Cask at the Junction Tavern. Golden brown with a thin head. One dimensional but pretty tasty. Flowery hops and obvious heather. Nice balance. The heather works better in the flavour than the aroma. All in all a nice drop.
