Okells Autumn Dawn

Cask @ The Feathers, Westminster SW1. Pours a clear dark golden color with a small off-white head. Hasa fruity malty caramel aroma with some hoppy hints. Fruity malty caramel flavor with some weak hoppy hints. Has a fruity malty finish with some hints of caramel in the aftertaste.

Cask at Argyll Arms, Oxford Circus 17 Nov 08. Golden colored. An OK creamy head clinging to the glass. Some fruity aroma. Malty, but a bit perfumed flavor. A modest, dry bitter aftertaste.

<i>Cask Conditioned at Woodin’s Shades, London</i>
Cloudy golden color, with a creamy head. Bad aroma, like the beer that flows in the tray, or fermenting fruits; is this the first pint of the day? The body is soft, but there is an unexpected sourness; less bad than the aroma, but very suspicious. I can’t drink it.

Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen. A hazy dark amber beer with a thin light tan head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet malty with notes of caramel, while the body is light.

Cask @ the pub next to Lyceum Theatre.
Pours hazy golden with a small, bubbly, white head. Okay duration. Aroma is doughy malts, a little caramel and weak fruity hops. Low carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is pleasantly sweet, lots of malt and with a soft hoppy touch. Good, rather fruity aftertaste. Tasty.

Cask, Bear and Billett, Chester. Darkish orangey brown colour with a thin whiteish head. Thinnish hoppy aroma. Similar flavour with a bit of malt. Pretty uninteresting.

Cask conditioned @ Humble Plumb, Soton. Golden.Sweetish biscuity malt and some tangy citric hops. A little yeasty sulphur spoils the balance.

Cask, gravity, at Bedford Beer Festival ’07. Amber. Malty aroma. Faint malt taste, otherwise a bit vapid... no, actually it’s rather good. Anyway that’s what I wrote in my notes.
