Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Peachy hops, with a cheesed malt finish, which is a let down. Average.

Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Amber, sl haze with thin head. Just pulled through but still tasted old. Dull, malty beer, quite unlike Archers who do try to get hops into their beer. Some biscuit and some fruitiness, but largely dull.

Above average Archers fare. Some grassy hop in the aroma. Fruity malt flavour with some balancing hop. Finishes dry. Fresh and clean. Nothing exceptional but a perfectly decent pint. Cask (handpump), Wenlock Arms, February 2005.

Biscuity malt aroma. Sweet malty slightly fruity flavour. Medium bodied. Dark gold in colour. Ok bitter.

Cask@The Wenlock Arms, London. Slightly caramelly, with some slight lemony, ever-so-slightly floral hops. Grainy, slightly tangy, drinkable.

Cask at the Wenlock Arms, not too far from Old Street station, London.. With Chris_o, joet, Duff & Kook. Yet another Archers possible rebadge!!! Amber with a patchy white head. Aroma is malt with a splash of fruit. More malt and fruit to taste in a floral backdrop. Boring.

Cask Conditioned & on Hand Pump at The Babington in Derby. A mid / dark brown colour. Pretty middle of the road Ale, nice to see a slightly darker one from Archers but other than that nothing exciting.
