Bottle at WWT tasting thanks to me. Clear golden with small white head. Some old grains, apricot, dried mango, nasty herbal notes and almost moldy. Light sweet with slight sour and very light bitter finish. Not good.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Beer Market Jaffa. Thanks kerenmk. Clear golden with a bit of off-white foam. Aroma of stale malt, cardboard, minerals and light fruitiness. Flavor is quite dry, stale, with minerals - very-hard-water-like - and light fruitiness. Quite light-bodied with strong carbonation.

Cask at the Cock & Bottle, St Helier. It pours clear gold with small white head. The nose is soft, grainy, oatcakes, grainy and mild spice. The taste is sweetish, grainy, cereal, biscuity malt, mild lemon with a short, dryish finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nothing much of note. Fairly basic by all accounts. Meh.

Rerate, cask half pint at The Lamplighter, St Helier. Served at correct cellar temperature. Golden colour, nice lacing. Moderate hops in the aroma. Tingling hops in the fairly dry and pleasant flavour, some fruit. I'm upping the score a bit. Original rating: Cask pint at the Ship & Crown, St. Peter’s Port, Guernsey. Golden colour, low white head. Very moderate aroma, not as hoppy as expected. Decent hops throughout in the flavour, some malts too. Smooth to drink. (Score: 3.1).

Cask @ Ship & Crown, St. Peter Port. Smooth and mild in the beginning. Hints of grain, tends to be watery, easy to drink. Fresh and smooth. Slightly bitter to the aftertaste, nice ale aroma, but still quite watery. On the tongue remains a fresh, smooth ale aroma with a quite watery /thirst-quenching touch! Highly drinkable Real Ale, but not very deep. Hints of sweetness.
