Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, London SE1 16/10/08. Amber with a decent white head. Fruity aroma with some earthy yeast. Flavour had some caramel sweetness, red fruit, a hint of woodiness and some citrus hops. The alcohol was rather prominent. Ok.

Cask conditioned at The Market Porter, Borough, London. Amber with white head. This was 5.5% on cask. Big fruity beer with a heady alcohol note. Drying, dusty hop flavour in a slightly confused body, bitter finish. Pretty reasonable overall.

500ml Bottle (Royal Oak,London) - Amber coloured. Slightly peachy aroma. Moderately bitter and peachy taste which is rather refreshing. Reasonably impressive.

500ml bottle. 6.5% ABV. Dark orange appearance. Hoppy aroma with a hint of caramel malt. Subtle flavour - caramel malt vying with hops. It’s a bit like an IPA that’s been sweetened up. Not bitter enough for my liking.
