4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20On draught at The Trumpet, Northampton. Glorious real ale. Sweetish with just the right hop balance. Served in good condition, this is an unbeatable ale which I’ve enjoyed for more than 20 years in a number of pubs north to south. The bottled version is nowhere near as good unfortunately.

On cask at The Paper Mill, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of light bready malts, floral hops and English hops - very subtle stuff.

Cask at Porterhouse Cork. Pours a clear amber gold with a thin white head. Aroma is quite malty, with caramel and straw to the front, but with more unusual tobacco and chocolate notes too.

Pretty decent bitter, but nothing that remarkable.
