on tap at the Kilverts in Hay-on-Wye, which is in Wales but has a Hereford postcode. Amber colour with a small head. Smooth carbonation. Very malty with a lovely fruity character. Pleasantly fruity with flavours that remind of ripe apples and aged dry cider. Delicious.

Cask, Goat and Tricycle, Bournemouth. Amber gold with a small head. Aromas are citrus with caramel malts with peppery notes. Flavours are sweet caramel and crisp citrus with decent hopping. Dry and lightly bitter on the finish. Good.

Cask at the Plough, Ealing, with tashi, 10th April 09. A quick half before getting stuck into another pint of London Porter on our Fullers crawl. Dull amber looks. Funky hop aroma. Grassy hop taste with toffee malt for balance and an ok finish. Pretty uninspired overall though. May not have been in the best condition.

<i>Cask Conditioned at J.D. Wetherspoon - The Pommelers Rest, London</i>
Golden color; generous head. The aroma is lightly grassy, not particularly nice. It has the usual caramel flavor, grassy as well, light sweetness (which makes it easily drinkable) with a late astringency; in this case the <i>grassy</i> touch is not as pleasant as it’s usually in English Ales; correct bitterness, the final has some freshly cut wood too. Simple.

Cask at Penderels Oak JDW, Holborn, London, 23 Nov 2008. Orangey amber colour with creamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of orange peel, Seville orange and citrussy hops. Fruity taste with orange, mandarin, biscuity malt and a bittersweet finish with hints of orange marmalade and citrussy hops. Medium body, rather sweet. Nice bittersweet citrussy character.

A lightly hazed golden ale with a very thin white head. Aroma of honey, apples, light hops and solvents. In mouth, surranated hops with biscuitty malt, cloying solvents, fusel alcohol. Bought Nov. 2007, at Marhun, tasted Sept. 2008.

Cask - West Gate Inn JDW, Canterbury. Amber coloured with a small, bubbly looking white head. Aromas are quite thick and hoppy with some yeasty character and a degree of grassiness. Flavours are more fruity with a supple caramel taste and a dry, grassy finish. Reasonably well rounded with a decent palate texture.
