ladnewton (858) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - AUG 13, 2009
Cask at the Pembury Tavern on 11th August 2009. Brownish amber with short lived white head that soon goes. Toasted malt notes in initial kick then hops become more abundant leading to quite a bitter finish on a smooth mouthfeel.

hughie (3992) - Bedford, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 31, 2009
Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Gold with a small white head. Buttery malt aroma and taste, quite restrained and well, a bit idle, really. Virtually no bitterness. Or it may be that my taste buds had been burnt out by a nice cheese and piccalilli roll.

Fin (5479) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - DEC 19, 2008
Cask, handpump at FFTMC, Oxford, 13-11-08 Pours mid brown, fruity beer with a decent enough tang. Doesnt really have anything about it which makes it stand out and so the fact that it was served a little too warm for my liking (no fault of the brewery obviously) has already made this a rather forgetable beer.
