Gravity dispense at the Happy Man, Englefield Green, Midlands BF, 15/03/13. Lightly hazed dark golden amber with no head - not pretty on the eye! Nose is malts, hops, touch of TCP, caramel. Taste comprises malt, berry fruits, pretty basic on the flavour front. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation - a touch on the flat side, some light bitter notes in the finish. A very bog standard twiggy bitter - not one to bother with again, red wine plaease if that’s all on offer!

Cask at Number 22, Darlington. Clear golden brown dark amber colour, white foam head leaving some lacing, and slight sweetish malt aroma. Initial leathery taste, with watery caramel malt and some lingering dry biscuity flloral bitterness. OK bitter.

A beautiful sunny afternoon on Friday 7th September 2012 saw my father and I join in R.A.T.2012 (Rail Ale Trail part 2). Split between three bars along the Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury railway line: they had over 50 different beers to try: this was one of them. Pint: hand-pulled in Codsall Railway Station. Lovely looking clean amber body, with a full head that gave some heavy lacing. Aroma was of malts, wood, nuts and earthy notes with some floral hints thrown in as it warmed in the glass. Well balanced feel to the flavours: biscuity malts and semi-bittering hops combine to produce a very pleasant beer indeed. Body depth fits the alcohol level nicely and I could have carried on drinking this all afternoon if it hadn’t been for the festival selection waiting along the line.

Yawny owl. Tired old fella wants to sleep. Been running and the time is now to pass away slowly in sleep. Streeeetch. Yaaaawwwwnnn...

Cask. Enticing aroma of pitfruit and malt, light copper, small custard head. Flavour is fine malt, red plums, some caramel noted. Light bodied, very well balanced, lovely mouthfeel, smooth suppin’. Just right! (sometimes less is more.)

Cask handpull, The Felix Holt (JDW), Nuneaton. Bright orange amber, good lace. Plastic, wood and sherbet aroma. Fermented orange juice in a plastic water container, paper, good biscuits. A bit drab, but better than it sounds.
