Cask; Occasional.
This classic copper coloured ale is full bodied, with a palate rich in fruit and malt, balanced by a satisfying bitter finish.

Cask in Counting House. Aroma is spicey rich malts with grassy hop but something doesnt suit it. Taste is similar slight iodine note, not sure what the annoyingness is here but its annoying.

Cask - Wetherspoons, Canterbury. A light copper colour with a decent-sized white head. Fairly unremarkable citric hop aromas. Full of sour fruits that never really come together particularly well. An ok but forgettable bitter finish. Reasonably quaffable, but nothing one would write home about.

A Mes rate: Cask at Baker Street ’Sporks.
Blonde with a slim white head. Bland hoppy aroma with a bit of alcohol. Very citric flavour with a bit of paint stripper from the alcohol. Strong lemon on the finish. Not great and probably on its way out.

Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes. Gold with a small white head. Sweet fruit aroma, possibly pear or berry. Very sweet caramel malt taste with a little fruit and some biscuit to follow. Gentle dry finish. Quite good.
