Whitstable Native

Cask (Market Porter, London) - Copper coloured. Fruity aroma with caramel, dried fruit and some hoppy hints. Fairly fruity taste with notes of toffee, caramel, hops and tea.

Cask@The Whearsheaf. Clear amber color, small steady white head. Fresh hayish hoppy aroma, and I am not sure - maybe a glimpse of diacetyl. Hayish, dry, slightly sour flavor (cask is in condition but has just a bit sour feeling). Watery finish.

Cask conditioned at The Bell & Crown, Canterbury. Copper colour with white head. Quite a thinnish, tinny, harsh type bitter, some grainy roasty notes with a sweetish note. Pretty average and a little unexciting.

Cask - The Bell & Crown, Canterbury. A chestnut colour with the merest hint of a head. Grainy, nutty and mildly fruity aromas. The grainy character again comes through in the taste, which is a touch off-putting. Other flavours include some earthiness and some sweet maltiness. Not terrible, but easily overshadowed by their IPA I had beforehand.

Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: Nice fruity session bitter, hints of berry fruit over grassy herbal bittering hop.
