Jul 10, 2008 [on draught at Lyndhurst Ale House, Reading] An old school bitter - brown with a long lasting beige head. Deep earthy bitterness dominates with some malt. Bitterness grows to obliterate everything else & leaves an unpleasant aftertaste.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle from Wickcroft farm shop Reading. Pours a deep chestnut colour with a thin white head. Plenty of fruit and malt in the aroma. The beer is fruity and malty with plenty of hops. The aftertaste is very dry.
Will have to try the cask version again.

Jun 21, 2008 Cask conditioned - handpump - Racehorse, Northampton. A light amber coloured beer with a whitish head. There are grassy hops in the nose. Fairly dry and bitter with a little bit more grass. Pretty quaffable. Should have less alcohol to be truly a lunchtime bitter.
