McMullen V-1805

Cask handpull at Spice of Life, Cambridge Circus. Besst of the 3 Mcmullen beers we had here. Orange colour with thin white head. Some orange peel some nice spicey hop. Really nice hops

Spice Of Life, Soho. Not sure what the taste intention is. An Autumn ale for sure - crystal malt with apple and chocolate notes -but nothing really pulls together. There’s no meaning or integration to this ale. It’s wandering around vaguely confused, like the French and Spanish fleet?

Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival 2005. This is an amber coloured beer with a heavy dose of diacetyl in the aroma. Otherwise, its a somewhat plain, standard session bitter with the emphasis on malt. Perfectly drinkable.
