Cask, handpump at The White Rabbit, Oxford, Tuesday 8th July 2014 in company of Loz, Grace & Ian Amber in appearance not too much of a head save for a few bubbles, in fact one might suggest that it appears a little flat. Taste is mildly fruity with a tame bitterness, this is a very safe rather ordinary bitter, absolutely fine, tastes ok but very little else to remark on. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov13 3.0

Bottle at Mum & Dad’s - cheers! Reddish-amber, no head. Good rich mouthfeel, especially considering the low abv, but it’s spoilt a little by the too-prickly fizz. Sweet caramel on tasting followed by Ribena and lots of malt. Moderate bitterness in the drying finish. Not a bad bitter actually, and plenty of flavour for the strength.

Cask at the Merchants Inn, Rugby, 24/07/13. Clear dark amber with a thin off white head. Nose is malty, dark fruit, sugar. Taste is a little thin, dark fruit, dates, fruity tang, sugars, bready malt. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light fruit notes and a touch of bitterness in the finale. Mediocre bitter.

Cask handpump at The Queens Head, Chelmsford. Tawny brown colour. Floral fruity aroma, with raisins. Not bad, but rather too thin texture.
