Cask (Bitter Virtue, Southampton) - Amber in colour. Dried peach and malt in the aroma. Slightly hoppy taste with hints of citrus, toffee and malt. Nothing special.

cask at hyde tavern ... golden amber ... no head ... soft sweet fruity hop nose ... juicy fruits ... light hop ... soft malt ... ok but nothing exciting

Cask at The Pineapple, London, England.
Cloudy amber colour with tiny off-white head. Caramel sweetness, mild maltiness and notes of hops. Malt, sweet caramel and some notes of sweet hops. Quite enjoyable.

(Cask at Carpenter’s Arms, Marble Arch, London, 6 Aug 2010) Amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of citrus, orange and apricots. Fruity taste with orange, apricots, grainy malt and a certain citrussy bitterness in the finish. Rather light body, fairly dry. Decent but hardly exciting.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 18/07/10. Amber with next to no head. Sweetish, boiled orange sweets and tired hops, with a short, dry finish. Different from the usual Cottage pale ale, but not in a positive way.
