Cask at the Greyhound (JDW), Maidenhead. Reddish chestnut with a thin cream head; musty fruity aroma; richly roasted malt taste; the finish is dry, warming, and rather clingy. Moreish, but not something I’d repeat straight away - if you know what I mean.

Hand-pulled third of a pint during the Autumn 2013 Wetherspoon’s Beer Festival: 16th Oct in the Wellington Spoon’s. Clear amber/dark gold body with a thin covering for a head. Fruity nose with some promise of maltiness to come. The taste was a pleasant blend of flavours, malts to the fore, but with a good hop content keeping tabs on the sweetness. The hops giving a satisfying semi-bitter and dry finish. Alcohol hidden well by the brew: medium bodied and as usual with Adnams, leaves you wanting another.

(Cask, Stockholm Beer Festival, 8 Oct) Dark amber colour with small head. Fruity nose with apricots, blood oranges and notes of earthy hops. Fruity taste with lots of bitterness from the earthy hops, notes of orange and cherries. An allright bitter with a nice hoppy bitterness.
