Cask (gravity dispense) at Egham Beer Festival on 18 August 2011. Amber colour. Loose white head. Moderate condition. Touches of lemon and a vaguely spicy twist in the aroma. Good solid mouthfeel. Plenty of tangy hops on the palate with a modest, yet steady bitterness. More depth on the palate than on the nose. Well balanced and easy-drinking. A decent best bitter in a fairly traditional UK style.

Cask at the Wenlock Arms, London on 8th June 2011. Clear copper with lasting white foam head and initial lacing. Slightly smoky aroma; berries, honey and smoke in mouth with citric grapefruit in good supply. Finish is solidly bitter, rounded with honey sweetness lingering.
