Cask Handpump at Bonhommes Bar, Filey 05/12/2009 Fruity hop aroma. Bronze coloured and fruity with a little dryness in a bitter malt finish.

UPDATED: OCT 6, 2009 Cask conditioned at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks 11-02-09 Pours copper in colour with a white head another great looking beer. There is a thrusting bitterness to this but I wonder whether I’m still feeling the after effects of the previous beer (Naylors Draymans Delight). This is a tasty session beer, lacks a little identity and is a little thin at times, but still its not without its charms.

Nicely bitter, roof of the mouth gets a good workout, some citrus, good session beer, and better this time around. 6 A5 F7 P4 Ov13 3.5
