Cask/handpump at the Brewery Tap, Brentford. Fruity peach-floral & caramel nose. Malty full body with burnt orange, melon and grape notes. Dry slightly burnt caramel finish with long bitterness. Very nice.

Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet and moderate bitter with a average to long duration, toffee notes. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20110427]

Cask at The Swan, Bayswater, London. AMber/orange, small head. Fruity flavor. Malty fruity flavor, some citrus, some grass. Metal finish with fruity notes.

On cask (handpump) at the Mad Bishop & Bear, Paddington on 27 April 2011. Dark amber / copper colour. Thin off-white head. Good, lively condition. A fairly straightforward toffee-accented strongish bitter. Quite fruity. Softish mouthfeel. All round rather traditional feel. Decent enough but nothing particularly distinctive here. I didn’t get too excited by the Royal Wedding and I haven’t been very excited by many of the "special" beers brewed to commemorate it. This one is no exception.

Distinctive hint of turkish delight. Not exactly what I’d look for in a beer, but the taste was nonetheless full and rich, with no unpleasant aftertaste or lingering sweetness. Full fruity aroma, not a bad beer, but certainly not a great one.

Hand pulled at the Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. Amber colour. Quite a rather boring malty beer. Some water, salt and rough, moose-like cake crumbs. Not a big flavour. Dull
