Cask. Hazy amber colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is nutty and flowery along with some nectary and wooden hints. Flavour is a pleasant mix of fruity and flowery hops, quite much grass and caramel malts balancing it up. Some notes of cookies also.

Amber - not in the beer sense but literally like a piece of amber; kind of watery, caramel, touch of copper, wood, finishes slightly sweet.

Cask handpull at Fly in the Loaf, Liverpool. Copper colour with creamy head. Seem to use a tight sprinkler. Yeasty session bitter with goodish hop finish. Bit metallic. Even still tasty session beer. Bit thin around the edges but core yeast/caramel/hop falvours hold together well. A bitter that is bitter

Cask @ White Horse, Parsons Green SW6. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty caramel aroma. Sweetish fruity malty caramel flavor with some hints of hops. Has a sweetish fruity malty finish with some hints of caramel in the aftertaste.

Cask Handpump at the Station Buffet, Stalybridge 07/08/2001 Golden coloured with some pal malt. Full hop finish.

Cask Conditioned at The Plough, Adderbury. Copper gold in colour with a lasting white lacey head. A sharp dryish bitter, fuller in flavour than expected. There was a salty note overlaid with a soft fruity tone.

A Mes rate: Cask at the Fly in the Loaf, Liverpool. Very run of the mill bitter with nothing to write home about. Mellow malts, slight bitter finish. Merv drinks it.
