On tap at a pub in central London. Not much aroma, very simple flavours and served quite warm even for a bitter. Very drinkable though, but nothing to really differentiate it from the pack.

2.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Handpulled cask more than a few times over the years. I remember when it was brewed in London during the 70’s. It was really decent when you could find although there wasn’t many competitors locally in it’s class. It’s changed brewers 3 times since then and has seemingly worsened each time. The Bedford brewed version has not reversed the trend.
