A bright, golden orange coloured beer with a frothy, but weak white head. A light, slightly sweet nose of hops and biscuity malt. The taste is dry and hoppy, with a honeyed, biscuity malt flavour. The finish is dry and light. A very pleasant session ale. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk. Acquired from the Blue Cow as a swap, courtesy of Bruce!)

Cask conditioned at Harbury Beer Fest ’09. Hazed gold with no head. Quite thin on the palate with a sweet fruity type taste, all a little understated and dull. A touch of dishwater in the finish.

Cask Stillage from the Festival Bar at the Flower Pot, Derby 01/04/2007 Amber golden coloured and hoppy. Strong earthy flavour. Bitter lasting finish.
