cask at Torquay RFC - Light amber modest white head . nice aroma - some malts and fruity citrusy notes . Starts fruity - I get green apples and grapes with a hint of caramel coming through to a medium hoppy bitter finish . A decent regular light bitter .

Cask @ The Golden Heart, Gloucestershire. Ripe wild funkiness, fermenting fruit. Bright hazy wheat, white head. Light bitter, full flavor

bottle from Greendale Farmshop. Clear golden colour, mid-sized head. Superb malt flavours with lots of delicious fresh hops, slightly resiny, green, citrusy. Hints of Victoria plums. Superb stuff!

Cask at The Dolphin, Torquay. Pours nutty brown with a small creamy off-white head. Light malty aroma. Taste is moderate bitter with a distinct malty body.

Competent but difficult to say much more than that. Has the typical south-western harsh bitterness with a hint of toffee and not a huge aroma. Pretty middle of the road.

Cask conditioned at A Wetherspoons. Amber with white head. Sweetish toffee caramel maltiness with a restrained leafy hop note. Never becomes bitter enough for a sessionable beer. A little drab.

Cask at the White Hart, Tongham - just down the road from the Hogs Back Brewery. Hazy pale amber with a loose cream head; fruity malt aroma; crisp fruity malt flavour with some apple and apricot; gentle but strongly bitter finish, leaving a classic English hop taste. An excellent ordinary bitter.
