UPDATED: FEB 19, 2006 Cask conditioned at The Church Inn, Ludlow.
Orange brown beer with lacing head. This has a dry caramel background with a light roasted flavour and a bitterness that totally takes over the flavour. Fresh hop flavours renew the interest in a good all round session bitter.

Beer No 41 on the Wilsons’ Road Trip 2005. Cask at The Church Inn, Ludlow. Orange with aroma of caramelly malt and citrous hop. Good bitter finish. Particularly fresh and pleasant.

Cask at GBBF 2009 ... copper ... light lemon hop nose .... little zezty lemon.

Many pints at many pubs - cask. Pale amber pour with a kiss of light fruit and some spicy/herbal hops. Softly bitter with a touch of light fruit and herbal hoppiness. A little bit of sweet herbs and some soft bitterness. Soft and fresh.

Cask@CastleInnChepstow. Aroma of malts, caramel and raisin. Brown color, small disappearing off-white head, fair lace. Malty, bitter, grassy, herbal. Sticky start with a dry finish. Flavorful bitter and not too sweet like many.

Nice enough hand pumper bitter. Served at the right temp, this ale brings back memories of quaint english pubs. Seemed better to me than the current ratings, but maybe that is just nostaglia talking. Correct bitter experience. Crisp and fresh amber pour. Pleasant bitterness with a clean finish Worthy of an afternoon of darts.

Cask conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 22/5/07. Decent session bitter. Copper coloured with a slight white head. A touch of hoppy aroma followed by some fruity malt and a decent dry finish. Good.

A dark amber brown beer with a light white head. A clean, light toasted malt nose with some hop in the finish. The taste is very dry, hops are very apparent, there is a hint of sweet maltiness in the smooth finish. (Bottle).
