No cask this week as I couldn't find any in France:

Lagunitas Session IPA k
Affligem k *
Leffe 0.0 b (in error)
Eurofizz (unidentified)
Polar Monkeys IPA k *
White Rabbit IPA k *
Sainte Cru Don't Panic IPA k*

All three IPAs were very drinkable and, I assume, from French breweries although finding out more on the ground isn't easy although I have so far found the Sainte Cru brewery.
BOTW Sainte Cru - Don't Panic IPA keg. A very drinkable 6.5% IPA, not overly fizzy and improved gently with warming.

Old Dairy-Uber Brew:3.8%abv: Nettley goodness.
