Oh this is a good beer, i’m a Theakstons man but this does tick all the boxes for me, good session bitter.

Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. A brown pint, with some nice froth. Hoppy to a certain extent, tempered with a little understated sugar. Balanced drinkable bitter.

Cask Conditioned Handpump Coach & Horses Wellingborough. A brown beer with a whitish head. A very pleasant session beer with fruity and leafy hops. A touch of nuts and grain. Old fashioned but with extra hopping. A very easy quaffer.

UPDATED: JUL 9, 2009 Cask at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks 08-10-08 Pours mid amber with a slight haze and a white head, it looks decent enough. Some soapy hops in the mouth, very soft feeling, restrained but ever present bitterness and yes I suppose there is a simple bread like quality to this beer, its ok.

Bitter and fruity and once again I get the bread like quality to this beer, its good stuff marked up on re-rate. A6 A3 F7 P4 Ov14 3.4

Cask-conditioned at the Wellington, Birmingham 31/08/10. Copper coloured with a slight, off-white head. Slightly sweet, caramel aroma with some damson fruit. Bready malt flavour, with more plum fruit and a decent bitter finish. Good.

Cask (Guide Dog, Southampton) - Dark amber in colour. Biscuity and malty aroma with a hint of caramel. Nicely balanced taste with malt and hops both vying for attention. Notes of caramel can be detected.

Cask conditioned @ Guide Dog, Soton. Brown. Wholemeal bread crusts and malty flavours in the light body with sufficient hop in the finish to provide balancing bitterness and additional earthy flavours. Nice.

From cask at Market Porter. Pours clear and golden deep orange with a small off white head. Aroma is roasted malty with a crisp hoppy note. Vague initial soapy hops note. Citrusy and vague peachy. Bitter, dry and peachy finish.

Cask stillage at the Grape and Grain Spring Beer Festival 2012, Crystal Palace. Mahogany pour with a white head. Malty aroma of raisins and toffee. Sweet malt flavour, bit of treacle and toffee in there. Light bitter-malt finish.

Cask, Criterion, Leicester. Dark amber with a thin foam. Aromas are weetabix and oaty malts with chocolate and light spices. Flavours are sweet malts with tea. Dry with chocolate on the finish. Simple and OK.
