At an mitra in purmerend, dark golden, medium head, full blond with lots of grain and grassy hinds, fruits in the aroma, nice one.

(Cask at Penderel’s Oak JDW, Holborn, London, 19 Apr 2009) Cloudy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, yeasty nose with notes of peaches and lemon. A hint of smoke as well. Fruity, yeasty taste with citrus, peaches and a fairly sweet, spicy finish. Not very bitter. Slightly above medium body, rather sweet. A decent Belgian blond.

Cask version, ABV 6%, at the Gig House (JDW), Wokingham. Gold with a scummy white head; aroma of Belgian yeast; syrupy texture without being sweet; dry with yeast and wheat, some honey and some Brugges spices; then a dry bitter finish. A heavyweight blond, this is what Leffe should taste like.

Cask, Hoylake Lights, JDW. Hazy gold with a minimal white head. Aroma was yeasty with fruit notes, themes that continued in the flavour which was fairly sweet and spicy. Unremarkable belgian that is drinkable yet dull.

Cask at The Exchange, JDW, Banbury, Oxon, 20-04-09 Pours light to mid gold with a white head, some light alcohol wafts from the nose along with sweet malt. Taste is a little sweet, malty, spicy and with a good dollop of yeast, nice beer. A6 A3 F7 P3 Ov14 3.3

Cask-conditioned at the Berkeley (JDW), Bristol 19/04/09. Clear gold with next to no head. Big tropical fruit flavours, with plenty of sweetness, some spicing and a hint of yeast. Finish was dry with plenty of crystallised citrus fruit. Ok.

Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Pale gold with white head. Whew, this is strange, I get pineapple quite strongly, mixed with lychee, sweet and amazingly flavoured, but really odd at the same time. A beer obviously not meant to be unfiltered so really over powered. Too much for us, but still worth a go.
