On cask @ The Prince of Wales - Shrivenham, Wiltshire. Amber in colour with low carbonation. Mild fruit (ripe red apple) aromas, along with caramel malts, and a bot of herbal hops. Closer to the canned version than expected, except with a bit stronger caramel, and a touch less fruit. Medium bodied, and finishes slightly sweet. Not bad, but sort of an average bitter.
