First tasted this in the Lord Nelson, Southwold. Handpump dispense. Crystal clear amber in colour with a thin white head. Dusty hop flowers in the short aroma. A thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a digestive biscuit malt base with citric fruit overtones. Dry hops evident in the bitter aftertaste. Dry hoppy edge to the finish. A good session bitter.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask at the Plough & Harrow (JDW) Hammersmith, amber-brown with a coarse white head, aromas of malt, a little apple, some grassy hop, strong initial bitterness gives way to a little sweetness and some vegetal notes. Lingering astringent and harsh bitterness. Not quite right, methinks - maybe it needs more ageing?

Pours copper/reddish. Very nice bold sweet fruit aroma which is matched in flavour. There’s a little bit of hop dryness in the finish, but all in all a really nice medium bodied bitter, with lots of fruit flavour.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask - The Bell Hotel (JDW), Norwich. Poured with a firm creamy off-white to beige head leaving an even, dense lace. An amber coloured body with a slight haze. General profile of boiled malt, mid fruits and a grassy hop bitterness with some metallic notes particularly on the aroma. Some leafy English hop & caramel on the tongue. Firm in the mouth but quite light in terms of body, akin to that of a pasteurised bottle bitter.
