Cask conditioned handpump Malt Shovel Northampton A golden coloured beer with a thin off-white coloured head. The aroma has slight fruitiness and a touch of washing up liquid. The taste has some bitterness and some orange fruit flavours. A bit wishywashy and unbalanced.

reidyboy (11) - Shrewsbury, Shropshire, ENGLAND - OCT 29, 2008
Cask at Shrewsbury Hotel (JDW) in Shrewsbury. Pale looking ale with a tight, creamy head. No notable aroma, taste a little thin, hops evident and some fruit and bitterness but not really robust enough, although would make a plesant session beer (wasn’t on a session unfortunately!).

FatPhil (6210) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - OCT 29, 2008
Cask (Kitty’s, Helsinki)
Rich orange, persistent frothy head. Sweet grainy rabbit-foody aroma - some ginger too. Simple malty taste, pleasant but subtle bitterness. Pleasant hoppy finish which lasts quite a while.

hughie (3993) - Bedford, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 6, 2008
Cask at Spoons, Milton Keynes. Gold with a small white head. Sweet malty aroma. Pleasantly sweet malty taste with some citrus and some bitterness. Quite enjoyed this, but I had other things on my mind, like would I get a parking ticket for stopping outside the pub.
