Cask-conditioned at the Old Green Tree, Bath 18/5/08. Amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Fruity malt aroma with a touch of earthy hops. Flavour had more malt, with an enjoyable dusted chocolate edge and a decent bitter finish. Drinkable.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask, Castle Inn, Bradford-on-Avon ... average at best ... enjoyable as a session beer but nothing that really stands out. Again, idyllic settings make things taste better.

Cask. Deep amber colour with minor beigeish head. Aroma is malts, some grains and mild hopping. Flavour is grassyness, some flowery hops and quite bitter. Mouthdrying.

Cask@Kitty’s, Helsinki
Copper brown color, small off-white head. Light, sweet aroma. Flavor is interesting combination of honey, ash and nutty malts. Ashy hops in the short aftertaste. Strange brew.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Deep orange, no head. Slightly sour aroma, maybe EOB. Some sweet light malt, but drowned by the sourness. Hard to judge what this could be like at its best.

A Sim rate (Cask at Reading Beer Festival): Aroma is malt and other grassy essences. Alcoholic initial hit with a metallic malty finish.

Cask Stillage at the Victoria Leisure Centre, Nottingham 20/10/2006
