Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Brown to amber with white head. Fuller roasted bitter with sweetish malty notes. crisp with a fairly sharp cereal character, some standard British hop flavours, reasonable best Bitter.

500ml bottle. Clear dark amber to brown colour with small minimally lacing white head. Lackadaisical darker malt aroma, bread, maybe hazelnut, hard to detect. Nuttily taste, some dry hop in the last third. Forgettable.

500ml bottle at Drink of Fulham, 2nd Feb 2011. Overly sticky jammy taste and a nutty malt finish. Pretty poor.

Cask, gravity dispensed, at the Jolly Angler, Reading. HAzy reddish amber in colour with no head; fruity malty aroma; sour fruit flavour with some sweet malts; lacking finish.

Hazy orange-amber color; creamy head. Light manure aroma. Smooth flavor, but the malt is quite poor, the bitterness is just right, and there is again a light manure touch. Probably good on cask, not so much from the bottle.

Cloudy orange with a medium white head and floaties. Sweet fruity aroma with hints of malt and turf. Flavour had malt, barnyard, mild hops and caramel notes. Finished mild bitter.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, fruit, and a bit of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, over ripe fruits, and phenol, leading to a dry acidic finish. Thanks KimJohansen for sharing.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of KimJohansen. Pours a hazy amber with an off-white head. Vaguely fruity nose. Rather light in body, dry roasted malt, a little nuts and a distant whiff of smoke. Dry finish with a discreet underlying tartness. 301109
