On gravity at Reading Beer Festival, 01/05/09. Golden in colour with a slight, off-white head. Unmemorable beer with some summer fruits, a touch of grassy hops and and overpowering bitter finish, which left the whole drink unbalanced. Not for me.

Cask (gravity) @ The 17th Reading Beer and Cider Festival 2011, Reading, Berkshire England.

Clear medium orange yellow colour with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, fully diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, vomit, light yeasty, ripped fruit. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. Sorry not to my liking ! [20110428]

Cask at the Red Lion beer festival. Deep gold with a bright floral hop and fruit malt aroma, full bodied, clean, peachy biscuity malt, good balance of firm bitterness. Tasty.

Cask conditioned handpump Edgar Wallace London. A light golden beer with no head. A biscuity aroma with some grass. Pretty bitter with more biscuit notes. A bit harsh in the mouth and not particularly pleasant.
