Cask, gravity, at Bedford Beer Festival ’10. Amber with a small white head. Fruit and malt in the aroma, resolving itself specifically into apple and malt in the taste. Mid bitter finish. Simple and only partly satisfactory.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask handpull, The Victoria, Rugby. Slightly tawny amber with great curtains of lace and a very persistent off-white head. Musky fresh hopcone aroma with a softening wash of caramel. Big clout of hop bitterness; soap and pine cone, gentle hum of resins, nod of fern. Bread, honey and digestives rounding things out. Spectacular lace. An unexpectedly flavour-drenched BB. Top stuff.

NOt so bitter, a little dark, and interesting in aroma, very hoppy in that. And nice and bubbling foam, like an old ale.
2.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2005] A hazy amber beer with a nice orange head. The aroma is slightly hoppy, but also like walking into a grossery store. The flavor is a dry roasted caramel, leading to a bitter hoppy end.
