Gravity cask at Red Lion, Snargate. Even better than I remember this beer. Full on hops and a rounded fruitiness and body. Really one of my favourite beers in the world when it is in this condition. Had it the night before and it was very good, but this had improved by the following afternoon

Cask conditioned at The Pickerel, Cambridge. (Was also available at the Cambridge Beer Festival.) Deep golden colour. Slightly sulphurous aroma, some fruits (plums, cherries?) too. Very nice moderately hoppy flavour with citrussy elements. A decent session bitter.

Polypin@Real Ale opening. Slight sulfuric nose, with some light hop and malt notes. Palate is lightly woody and dry , with some toffee apple, and then some light citric bitterness from the hops, great flavour sfor such a light beer (in terms of ABV).

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An amber beer with a small white head. The aroma is very hoppy and sweet - quite nice. The flavor is sweet with notes of both hops and grass - very fresh, but the body is thin.

And we had this last night as well, and it was difficult to say which was best - the Wherry or the Landlord. Again a citric rush. But perhaps rougher, dustier. Both on cask. This had the bigger aroma.

Dec, 2002:Bottled. This is one of Woodforde’s most famous and acclaimed beers. It’s quite fruity and pleasant with a refreshing acidity. A good thirst quencher. [3.0]
March, 2005: <a href=http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/51/516 IV, Leyton. Juicy dripping citric fresh. A galloping away joy of a beer. Gently sweet with a thirst cutting dryness in the finish. Intense fresh marmalade aroma. Spanking! [4.0]
April, 2006 JDW, Rochester A fruity and hoppy session bitter of considerable character. Dusty, earthy hops scratch their way over a refreshing and gulpable marmalade fruit. Very pleasing. [4.1]
Jan, 2007Red Lion, Bluetown, Sheerness. Mild orange. Very faint toffee. Fresh and gulpable. Lovely. [3.5]

Lightly hazy golden ale with a thick off-white head. Rather pleasant apple cider aroma. Dryish malts with light hops, but some oxidation marks. Lighter bodied.

Straight from the Cask at the Burton Winter Beer Festival on Sat 29th Jan. A nice "country" style bitter. Elements of hay, cut grass & fruits in there. Quite dry & pleasantly hoppy.
