Cask at the Old Spot, Dursley. Deep colour, ruddy brown with not much head. A pleasant malty beer, with a full fruity flavour with forest berries. Some of these West Country beers are a bit sweet and bland for me, but this is lovely, complex and with enough dryness to make it moreish.

Cask at GBBF 2010. A hazy amber beer with no head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, as well as a light note of bread.

Cask@GBBF2010 (notes say thanks yespr!). Coppery amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is nutty, wooden, grassy, herbal and caramel malty. Flavour is the same, but the maltyness is rather crispy. Pleasant.

Cask @ GBBF 2010. Pours a clear copper color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty caramel aroma. Fruity malty caramel flavor with some hoppy hints. Has a fruity malty hoppy caramel finish

From cask. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild acidic and hoppy. Bitter, slight fruity and subdued sweet flavoured. Bitter and mild fruity into a slight bitter finish.

UPDATED: DEC 1, 2008 Cask conditioned at Ric’s pub, the multi-award winning Old Spot in Dursley, Gloucs. A well-balanced amber bitter with a fruity aroma and hoppy palate. Very drinkable.

Cask Handpump at the Grove, Huddersfield 27/01/2007 (As Laurie Lee’s Bitter) Some malt aroma. Amber coloured with some alcohol present. Bitter with a crisp full malt finish.

Cask Conditioned. Dark ornage brown beer. Another Pig I believe, a full fruity best bitter, easily drinkable, though not without a cardboard flavour, perhaps a slightly smoked taste.
