Mild oxidation notes in the aroma with caramel and bread. Pullman pours hazy gold with a thin white head. Some oxidation notes in the flavor, apple cider and stale bread. I don’t think it made the journey from England very well.

Bottle from the Hepworth stall at MasterChef Live Expo, London. Pours pale gold with a fine, white head. Grain, slight citrus aroma. Light sweet flavor, with crispy malts and some citrusy, grassy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild dry finish, a bit of zesty citrus, grain, grass, light bread. Nice beer. Pretty basic.

Bottle. Pale golden pour - tight white head. The aroma is quite lovely. A bit fruity and some nice light spiciness. Soft and a bit chewy with some crisp hoppiness. Fresh and fruity with a nice bright zestiness. It’s quite lovely.

[cask at the 2008 London Drinker Festival] Standard brown pour for a bitter, thin white head. Malty, nutty aromas, some sweetness. Quite a nice taste – the classic nutty tasting best bitter with a pleasant finish. Some sweetish malt in there, but mostly bready notes with some slight wavering hop on the background [10032008]
