Bright medium amber. Thin head. Slightly earthy, slightly appley character. Accent on fruitiness, with a nice, earthy caramel balance. A nice working class bitter.

Cask at the Claude du Vall (JDW), Camberley. Gold with a tight white head; grainy aroma; creamy texture, light grainy flavour; the finish is biscuity and lightly bitter, as if a single hop was wafted over the brew. Innocuous and boring.

Cask @ Counting House, JDW. Clear golden colour, off-white head. Aroma is flowery and vegetables. Flavour is light malted, a bit fruity. Slightly dry finish, light bodied. Not good at all.

Cask-conditioned at the King of Wessex (JDW), Bath 5/7/08. Pale amber with a slight white head. Caramel aroma with a touch of earthy hops. Flavour was slightly syrupy with some fruit and a warming alcohol finish. Ok.

Half on gravity at London Drinker BF 2008, afternoon session. Unclear golden body. Missing head. Malty-fruity nose. The flavour is filled with a blend of ripe fruits and malts. Bitter finish. Well bodied (12.03.2008).

Cask gravity at London Drinker BF 08. Old gold with disappearing head. Some malt, some syrup. Not great condition. It’s an ok strong ale, not huge flavours. Fine. Nice enough blend of malt and hop. Hop has some crystallised fruit. Drinkable without being flashy.

Rated very fresh bottle. Heavily flowered aroma. Dark amber color. Good body. Very nice beer - especially if you crave a shot of hops.
