First tasted this in the Bull Inn, Paisley in January 1993. Cask ,handpump dispense. Clear pale amber in colour with a thin white head. Slight hint of toffee in the short aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a weak digestive biscuit base with swee toffee notes present. Dry floral hops give a long bitter aftertaste with earthy notes. Finish is bitter sweet with malt just edging it. An ok session bitter but I would take T’Owd Tup any day!

UPDATED: AUG 29, 2008 Cask at the Wellington Arms, Bedford. Pale amber with no head to speak of. A faint, indeterminate aroma. The taste is also faint. I couldn’t really pick out anything beyond a slight bitterness. Really too dull for a session. 30.8.08, Same location and comment, though there was some slight fruity sourness and a crumb of biscuit. Rated:4,4,5,3,9:2.5
