Cask-conditioned at The Seven Stars, London WC2. Amber coloured with next to no head. Aroma was fruity with a touch of yeastiness. Easy drinking with flavours of sweet malt, more fruit and juicy hops. The finish was long and bitter. Good.

Really enjoyed this one. One of the most striking beer flavours you’ll get. Not a taste of fruits but more of grain flavours, good pint here.

Cask at The Butchers Arms, Herne: Brown in colour as you’d epect from a best bitter. Very malty aroma. The flavour is full of malt with a fair ammount of toffee. Probably the best best bitter there is. Gorgeous beer.
