Jul 1, 2005 Cask at Duck and Drake, Leeds.
Golden brown beer with elderflower hop nose. Very creamy due to being poured with a sparkler. Wonderful quaffing pint with some good berry fruit from the malt and a shortish drying flowery hop finish. Used to be one of my favourites, but so many pubs did it badly, it was a revelation to have it here

May 23, 2005 Just another british ale, nothing special here really.
Hoppy aroma, slightly roasted malts in the taste with a hoppy finish. Quite bitter.
Maybe a session beer, but nothign special really.

May 16, 2005 Beer number 3 in the Great Ayr/ Glasgow pub crawl. Weatherspoons West Kirk, Ayr. Light golden colour. Splendid hoppy aroma, good mouthfeel, long distinctive bitter finish. An old favourite, but its still great, and served very well in here.

May 10, 2005 Cask@RokerHotel S’land - I’ve never really undertood the huge popularity this beer has. A spicy, hoppy traditional bitter with nice mouthfeel and clean hop aroma - but I wouldn’t describe it as anything more than a good premium bitter.
