Brewed by Whitstable
Style: Bitter
Maidstone, England

[Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm] Clear brownish amber. Very dry and butty with really light body. Bordering to feeling watery, but the malt manages to hold up, and the drybess makes it very drinkable. The finish has notes of tobacco and light grassy bitterness. A quaffer.

Cask (handpump) @ Market Porter, 9 Stoney Street, Southwark London, Greater London England SE1 9AA.
Clear medium orange amber color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, burnt caramel, burnt sugar, citrus acidic notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and acrid bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft to flat. [20090102]

Casked. Very reddish amber colour, mediumsized bubbly head. Hops, fruit and weak caramel in aroma. Flavour is quite watery, but some weak hints of hops is there. Grainyness and weak caramel in finish. Overall, watery.

Cask handpull at Wenlock. Deep chestnut with off white head. Some toasty malt and yeast aroma. Grainy, caramel in mouth, bit muddy. Finish has more grainyness, caramel and dry earthy hop. Malty caramel/hop session beer

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.

A Mes rate: Cask at the Market Porter. Nice mid amber colour. Sweet caramel malt aroma with some grassy hoppage underneath. More sweetish caramel malt in the flavour with a dusty and fruity finish. Mellow and drinkable lower abv stuff.

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

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.
