Cask (gravity dispense) at Egham Beer Festival on 21 April 2011. A copper coloured best bitter. Clean, dry mouthfeel. Quite traditional in style - rather earthy UK hops and dry, biscuity malts. Very competent but didn’t make that much of an impression. To be fair, it was the last beer of the day and supped rather quickly to allow me to catch the last train out. Flagged for re-rate in more leisurely circumstances.

Cask handpull at Cherry Tree, Canterbury. Drank with Ang just after Christmas. Good best bitter with some earthy hop. Mid brown bit of amber. Decent brown bitter in very good nick. Loved the roasty toasty malts. Proper darkish brown bitter.
