Cask conditioned at Coventry Beer Festival ’08. Gold with white head. Light malty and dry bitter, slightly thinnish with a bready aroma and taste. All a little understated really, not one to blow the socks off but quite sessionable. Ok.

Cask (handpump) at the Three Tuns, Bishops Castle, Shropshire, October 2005. A straw coloured session bitter. Not much aroma. Mellow and easy drinking. Soft malt dominates the palate, with low bitterness. Like the Three Tuns XXX that I tried just before it, there was a degree of sweetness that doesn’t sit too comfortably in this style of beer. A decent pint nonetheless, served in cracking condition.
