Mar 28, 2008 Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Gold with white lacing head. Sweetish malty bitter, quite light but with a great load of hops thrown in for good measure. Quite unlike many Thwaites beers previously tasted, this is fresh and fruity with orange notes, quite like opal fruits or whatever they are called now. A knockout session bitter in my book.

Mar 30, 2008 Cask conditioned - handpump - JDW Northampton. A golden bitter with an off-white head and lacing. The aroma has some wierd banana and peach thing going on. The taste is too sweet alsowith some light fruit. Smooth on the palate but just too strange and disconcerting.
