Cask conditioned @ JDW, Soton. Some ale yeast fruitiness and citric notes against light malt. A short bitter finish but not outstanding.

Cask at the Free House in London. Rusty amber body. No head. Seems almost flat. Nose is tea, hops, faint hint of mint and some light fruit. Taste is more hops with light spice, buttery malts and bread notes. Mouthfeel is well rounded and smooth. Finish is tea leaves and mild hops. Not bad!

Cask Conditioned, at the Sir John Old Castle, Farringdon, London.
Light amber colour with a frothy white head. Impressive bitter hop aroma. Green, dry & bitter. Clean bitter flavour but perhaps even a little weaker then 4.1%, maybe tasting more like 3.8-3.9.
