London caskwatch, of the five cask beers I had in London Saturday, condition-wise,
One was poor ( Project Babylon, Euston Tap)
Two were very average, (VOG Maveric, Scottish Stores and Saltaire Blonde, Lucas Arms)
One good ( Southwark Mayflower , McGlynns)
One excellent ( Park Field Haze , King Charles l )

However this weeks BOTW comes from familiar territory,The Alfred , Torrside Sentinel a wonderfully hoppy Porter.

Just a quick teatime session, this week.

Mallinsons - Every Rose.*
Wensleydale - Stone The Crows.
Great Newsome - Holderness Dark.*
Stancill - Deuce.
Portobello - APA.*


A pretty good bunch, but the APA was my favourite. Really enjoyed the orange marmalade flavours from the Amarillo hops. Taken in Harry's Bar.

I had this at the Euston Tap last week and indeed the condition was very poor, it tasting like a half pint of water with a squeeze of lemon; I didn't finish it.

Otherwise, a week largely on the lager in south London so:

Adnams/Siren - Secret Spring *
Kent - Ernest **½
Mauldons - Black Adder **½
St Austell - Proper Job **½
Sambrook - Sidekick **½
Southwark - Kazbek **¼
Timothy Taylor - Landlord **½

BOTW once again goes to Twickenham - Naked Ladies **¾ at The Barrel Vault (JD Wetherspoon).

Had this beer elsewhere in the past and its been fine, this one tasted like flat keg, very thin, served at keg temperature.

Yes. Some other beers sampled there have tasted like this, the quality here can be patchy. Generally I only go in if they've got Kelham Island Pale Rider on, otherwise it's the Queens Head, Charles I or Barrel Vault when in these parts.
