Cask handpump at The Wellington, Birmingham. Golden appearance. A slight scent of sugars and caramel. Watery, bitter and very sweet. Tastes are of lots of hop and honey. Very simple but quite good.

TomScotney (4) - Birmingham, ENGLAND - DEC 30, 2009 does not count
Hoppy and deceptively alcoholic, clear with a good head. Good tasty strong Christmas beer without resorting to gimmickry or sweetness

DJMonarch (9152) - Northwich, Cheshire, ENGLAND - SEP 4, 2009
Cask Handpump at the Riverside, Sheffield 13/12/2008 Hop and fruit aromas. Golden coloured fruity and pale with some alcohol present. A little dryness and bitterness in a crisp malt finish.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JAN 4, 2008
Cask handpull at The Wellington, Birmingham. Gold, with lasting thin off white head. Some citrus hop aroma. Quite tart in mouth with more citrus hops coming in on end. Strength isn’t overly evident, bit of sweet alcohol maybe. But very drinkable.
