Cask at The Maltings, York. Pours a clear deep orange with an average size diminishing white head. Mild, easy-drinking flavour of light fruit, malt and faint hops with short bitter finish. A decent Bitter.

Cask conditioned @ Sirloin of Beef, Portsmouth. Toffee and nuttiness with some cottage earthiness. One of their malty efforts which arent some of my favourites.

Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Dark brown with white head. There is a weird taste to this one, akin to fermented vegetable mass, somewhat stewed. There is a malty, oaty flavour initially, but then this pungent type flavour takes over. Not good.
