Cask @ The Euston Tap. The pour’s deep gold with a creamy white head. The nose is dried grass, honeyed bread, toast and red apples. Sweet, inviting aromas. The taste is of a traditional bitter with modest grassy hoppiness, hints of citrus fruits on the finish. Sweet grains, nice soft malty body. Crisp, clean, harmonious flavors. This gets pretty much everything right. Overall, this is an unbelievably good bitter. One of the best I’ve had in the style.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, day 3 on 2 December 2010. Gold colour. A bit hazy but very tasty. Plenty of citrus and enough toasty malt to even things out. Clean and refreshing. Good bite on the finish. Nothing particularly outrageous - just a solid, satisfying, unfussy pale bitter that hit the spot nicely.
