Cask@The New Wheatsheaf, London. Bautiful ruby red colour, small beige creamy head that leaves nice lace. Aroma is fruits, wood, nuts, some hops and mild non-sweet-nectary notes. Flavour is much the same, with a pleasant bittery tone to it. Also some slight notes of raisins. Rather bittery dry finish.

Aroma gives blueberrries and blackcurrents, particularly fruity. Taste is juicey berries, fruity as, balanced with good hop character, nice little suprise.

Cask (handpump) at the Museum Tavern, Bloomsbury, June 2009. Darkish brown colour with a red tinge. Lots of berry fruit and some nutty elements. Whilst I expected this to be malt dominated there was also enough hoppy bitterness to provide a solid balance. A lot more interest than the norm for a 4.0% UK bitter.

Cask conditioned - handpump - JDW Northampton. A mahogony coloured beer with an off-white head. The aroma is fruity and malty with brown fruit prevalent. The taste is nice and malty abd has that fruitiness also. Seems a bit thin, but that could be the fact that is was too cold. Tasty enough though.
