Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Deep amber-red with a moderate cream head and a light fizz. Earthy, fruity with a little diacetyl , a smooth mouthfeel and a moderate bitterness. Decent enough.

Cask (backlog). Rubyish amber colour with a mediumsized white creamy head. Aroma is sweet malts along iwth some mild herbal and floral notes to it. Flavour is sweet malts, mild crisp bready notes, some nutty notes as well as some slight wooden and floral bitterness in the finish. OK, but nothing that special.

500ml bottle - Deep russet body, thin white head. Nose is a little nondescript, some maltiness, some caramel, a bit of nuttiness. Taste picks up a little, some bitterness, a bit of toffee, some sour fruits, with a long bitter finish. Not bad really.
