Cask half pint at JDW, Victoria Station, London. ABV was 4.3%. Copper colour, moderate white head. Smooth and malty aroma and flavour, not sweet, biscuity. No off-flavours, but not very interesting.

Cask at the Moon Under Water (JDW), Watford on 25 October. Poured a clear copper colour with a rocky white head and some lacing. Aroma was slightly sulphurous with some malt and copper. Malty flavours at the fore with some straw and cereal. Finish was grassy hops and stale malt. Rather bland.

Cask at the Kings Highway, Inverness, 19/10/13. Clear copper coloured with a good sized off white head. Nose is thin, light bready malts, hint of fruit. Taste carries more depth, caramel, fruit, hint of coffee cake (yeah!), biscuit malt. Medium bodied, smooth on the palate, good conditioning on this number leading to a malt lead subtle bitterness in the closure. Ok innoffensive offering I guess!

The flavour is quite sweet with some prominent caramel. A good, easy to drink session bitter.
