dnas2 (524), Yelverton, Devon., Devon, England May 18, 2008 Cask at The Fountain Hotel, Tenbury Wells. Dark golden in colour with an off-white foam head. Hoppy with some sugar in the scent. Watery. Grassy malts, with some yeast present on the bitter slightly hoppy end. OK but not very exciting, and malts were more predominant than I would have expected in a bitter.
jbrus (4184), Delft, Netherlands Aug 6, 2008 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. Beth101 (122), West Yorkshire, England Aug 4, 2008 Had this in the Boat at Redbrook. It was dark amber in colour with no head and smelt of vinegar not a very enjoyable pint. renffisch (456), london, Greater London, England Mar 20, 2008 cask half @ the white horse. Looked stunning. Copper with a thick creamy head and in perfect condition. But otherwise very very unremarkable. hardly any aroma or taste. Hoppy biter finnish but that was it. too smooth indeed Geth_in_beer (677), Nova Scotia, Canada Jul 15, 2007 Pint in the Boat, Redbrook. Not to strong in the aroma. Oak flavour, possibly nutty hints in it. Not really a bitter but smooth on the palette.
