Cask at GBBF 2010. An amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry finish.

Half pint, reviewed at the Great British Beer Festival 4th Aug 2010. This beer is dry hopped and has five different varieties in the brew. The colour is a pleasant reddy amber, the head almost pure white, but not quite. Hops dominate the smell, but not enough to put you off trying to find other notes (none of which I could find). The taste has a hoppy bite which gets stronger all the time the beer is in the mouth, and also as the mouth dries in the aftertaste. There is a malt input, but very mild in strength, nicely blended, but a beer with more hops than malts within.

On gravity at Swindon beer festival, 27/10/2011. Amber with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of sweetish malts, with some hedgerow fruit and grassy hops. Flavour had some robust malts, touch of fruit and decent bitter finish. Good.

GBBF. Cask. Light sulphur on the nose but mercifully not in the beer! Clear amber coloured with a suddy off white head. Mild toffee in the malt. A little fresh hop. Over dry finish. Meh!

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 2. Pours rich gold with a foamy head. Wood and toast in the nose. Mild sweet flavor, note character of toast and dough, very light tangy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Wet hay and dough in the finish. Alright.

From cask. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is fruity and mild citrusy. Citrusy, peachy and light bitter. goes gradually more bitter into the finish. Nice fruity note persisting.

Very nice bitter, no real complaints, aroma couldn have been a bit better, but this is a beer I would have again
