Cask at GBBF, day 3 on 3 August 2006. Amber colour tending towards copper. Some citric, slightly resinous hop accents (I now see it uses Cascade) in the flavour. The hops are less prominent in the aroma. Decent enough. The hops are fine, just used rather too sparingly.

(Cask at Market Porter, Southwark, London, 19 May 2010) Amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with dried fruit, earthy hops and hints of sulphur. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, a solid malt foundation and lots of earthy hops in the finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Tasty and very well balanced bitter.

Cask - The Murderers, Norwich. Pours a clear, dark amber with a thin and loose white head. Red fruits, citrus and some floral notes on the nose. Caramel, vinuous flavours: berry and sharp fruits with delicate hints of alcohol. Medium body, average length finish. Oddly different.

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2010 Cask conditioned - handpump - Coach and Horses Wellingboro. A cooper coloured beer with a creamy white head. The aroma is hoppy and fruity and is quite pleasing. The taste is also hoppy and bitter. Obvious cascade but not particularly well balanced with the rest of the beer and starts to taste harsh. Sharp.Score 3.2
Subsequent ratings scored 3.6, 2.3 and 3.2. Average becomes 3.1
